　　Data Control Language (DCL) statements. Some examples:

　　GRANT - gives user's access privileges to database

　　REVOKE - withdraw access privileges given with the GRANT command

　　TCL

　　Transaction Control (TCL) statements are used to manage the changes made by DML statements. It allows statements to be grouped together into logical transactions.

　　COMMIT - save work done
