FOURTH GENERATION LANGUAGE
Most fourth generation languages are non–procedural languages. The programmer does not have to give the details of procedure in the program, but instead, specify what is wanted.
Major fourth generation languages are used to get information from files and databases. They are query languages, which are used to answer queries or question with data from a database. For example:
SELECT Name, Address
FROM Personne
WHERE Name = “Ekambaram Vasudevan”;
