Thread: SQL And MySQL

Hi,
members
Can you have any idea What is the main difference SQL and MySQL? Well i will tell its a simple language but the main difference is SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It's a standard language for accessing and manipulating databases.
MySQL is a database management system, like SQL Server 2005, Oracle, Informix, Postgres etc. MySQL is a RDMS (Relational Database Management System). All types of RDMB use SQL .Well this is one of the important language which were widely use in the office or its work like in Drop or truncating the table.I hope you will also some thing else here so pls go on...

SQL is general term for constructing database, mysql is an sql application..my 2 cents

SQL = Structured Query Language.
SQL is the language that is used to query the database, select and find records, insert and delete. It's a standard that's poorly followed, but the basics are supported by all.

MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, Informix (RIP), Sybase, etc are implementations of this broader language.
mySql is a database engine, that accepts the SQL and follows the instructions it recieves, passing out the relevant data as required.
