As the name kind of says it - it is a *query* language. You write queries or instructions to the database, to return you some values or modify them (Create/Read/Update/Delete). It is not a programming language per se.

It is a scripting language. With sql you can do anything regarding databases. It is only a language, so you still need a database enviroment to run your scripts.
