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 ... :)
