DML (Data Manipulation Language) commands are used to manipulate data within a database. These include commands like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. DDL (Data Definition Language) commands, on the other hand, are used to define or modify the structure of database objects. Examples include CREATE, ALTER, and DROP.
