Of the two answers provided DML is the choice, however:

there are other opinions.

It was such a simple question I psyched myself out and assumed it must be a trick. I figured if the answer was DML, the question was too basic to bother asking... so maybe it's considered DDL because it's how you define a return set. I guess they're right: always go with your first answer!

Simple basic question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Manipulation_Language
And that article says (bolds are mine):
The purely read-only SELECT query statement is classed with the 'SQL-data' statements and so is considered by the standard to be
outside of DML
. The SELECT ... INTO form is considered to be DML because it manipulates (i.e. modifies) data. In common practice though, this distinction is not made and SELECT is widely considered to be
part of DML
.
So, which is it?
