Why call the alternatives to SQL "frontends"? Is that even a standard term for the listed alternatives? A front-end refers to the part of an application that users interact with directly. LINQ, Scheme QL, etc are not "frontends" if you consider the standard definition of the term "frontend". Edit: Professor MAY have meant that even though the programmers will write queries using the listed alternatives, the queries will eventually be converted to SQL. So that would make SQL the backend and the alternatives the front-end, though I still am not sure if these are standard terms to be used in this scenario.
Any practical video?
