SQL
stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is an international standard
in querying and retrieving information from databases. MySQL is
essentially an SQL server - it responds to requests for information
that are written in SQL. You can communicate with MySQL using a
wide variety of programming languages (PHP being one of the most
common). MySQL is Open Source software and free for use.
