Big data is the driving force behind artificial intelligence and machine learning that’s changing the way we live and work. While SQL is the primary language used to interact with relational databases, HQL is a more advanced tool that allows you to query the world of unstructured data that includes videos, images, audio files, and text.

As industries increasingly rely on digital marketing, HQL is an emerging tool that allows enterprises to target ads to consumers based on analysis of social media content and other types of big data.
