Ahmed Ashraf Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Hello w3schools community ! I would like to know .. - What is exactly the difference between SQL ( Structured query language ) and MySQL ?, ( with examples if possible ) - Does learning SQL suffice ?

dsonesuk Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 SQL stands for Structured Query Language, that is used for accessing database to manipulate data stored in those databases. MYSQL is a open source database management system, mostly used in a Linux server environment that uses SQL. MSSQL (MicroSoft - SQL) is a NON open source database management system, by Microsoft (and therefore expensive) and mostly used in Microsoft server environment that uses SQL.

ishan_shah Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 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, Oracle, Informix, Postgres, etc. MySQL is an RDMS (Relational Database Management System). When considering a utility for data management the two most popular choices are MySQL and SQL Server. Both are efficient at keeping your data organized and readily available through a user interface. Both technologies have the concept of the schema (that is table storage) for data storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
