As the previous fellows commented: SQL is a language (Structured Query Language) MySQL is a product, a software RDBMS product (which supports the SQL language) like MS SQL Server, Oracle DB, etc . But sometimes and for simplicity some people call the Microsoft SQL Server simply: SQL . I don't agree with that simplicity because brings lot of confusion. . So ... lets rephrase the question with two alternatives: . 1) What is the difference between SQL and MySQL? SQL is a language and MySQL is a product . 2) What is the difference between SQL Server and MYSQL? These are two distinct, different and competitive products You could find interesting documentation if you just google "SQL Server vs MySQL" . Hope it helped ... !!! Cheers ... :) .

Mysql is product and SQL is a language. And FYI, MySQL syntax is PL/SQL. Basically SQL language has two variants as PLSQL and TSQL..
