SQL stands for "Structured Query Language". It is designed to query and output data from relational databases and you can join and transform the data in lots of ways. It's very powerful for data retrial and transformation and the de facto standard as a database query language. It is not designed to do programming, so it's really not a programming language. There is no loop construct in SQL, for example. There are extensions, like PL/SQL (Oracle) or Transact SQL (Microsoft) to implement programming concepts on top. It's important to learn SQL in addition to other languages if you ever have to deal with relational databases.
