{{Short description|Category of programming languages}}
'''Data-centric programming language''' defines a category of programming languages where the primary function is the management and manipulation of data. A data-centric programming language includes built-in processing primitives for accessing data stored in sets, tables, lists, and other data structures and databases, and for specific manipulation and transformation of data required by a programming application. Data-centric programming languages are typically [[declarative programming language|declarative]] and often dataflow-oriented, and define the processing result desired; the specific processing steps required to perform the processing are left to the language compiler. The [[SQL]] relational database language is an example of a declarative, data-centric language. Declarative, data-centric programming languages are ideal for [[data-intensive computing]] applications.
