SQL (pronounced "ess-que-el") stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for relational database management systems. ;-) SRC: http://www.sqlcourse.com/intro.html

Yes it is a programming language. But it is declarative - you tell the database WHAT you want, not HOW to do it.
