SQL is the language that is used to query the database, select and find records, insert and delete. It's a standard that's poorly followed, but the basics are supported by all.

mySql is a database engine, that accepts the SQL and follows the instructions it recieves, passing out the relevant data as required.

SQL stands for Structured Query Language, which is what syntax of commands U send 2 database is called. 4 eg, "SELECT * FROM tablename" is a SQL command.

MySQL is a database program, which accepts the SQL commands & gives out the data.

You're not comparing the same things. SQL is a language. Specifically, the "Structured Query Language" MySQL is one of several database systems, or RDMS (Relational Database Management System).

MySQL is one of several RDMS's, others of which are Oracle, Informix, Postgres, and MSQL. All of these RDMSs use SQL as their language. Each of them have minor variations in the "dialect" of SQL that they use, but it's all still SQL.

RDBMS data is structured in database tables, fields and records. Each RDBMS table consists of database table rows. Each database table row consists of one or more database table fields. The most popular RDBMS are MS SQL Server, DB2, Oracle and MySQL.

No problem!
