SQL is not a database, SQL - Structured Query Language - is a structured

way of querying an existing database. Which database do you have ?

Any of: 

  Oracle,

  MS SQL Server,

  MySQL,

  Postgres,

  MS Access



There are others



These are all "relational" databases - SQL is the language for querying

relational databases.

SQL- a language used to talk to databases.

Database: an "organized" way of storing data.



You can use a text file as a "database".



What do you own? That's what you use to design your database. Access, 

SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 are all databases.



Then you use SQL to talk to the databases.
