Just to clear up things a bit. SQL is not a database. It's a standard database query language (Structured Query Language, or SQL) and a language of its own, which is used to handle and access databases (Read, Write, Update etc.).
SQL is then used in conjunction with other languages (Like for example PHP, C++, Visual Basic and many many others) to make use of the databases and is actually often implemented into those programming languages by default, so you can use SQL with them without installing a separate SQL support module (some languages don't have built-in SQL support and require this though). Programming languages itself can't communicate with any databases without a separate database query language which is the SQL.
Note that there are also different versions of SQL one of them being MySQL. There are also different kind of databases existing most common being relational database.
Just to avoid misunderstandings. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

I was having fun avoiding misunderstandings in your post until I reached that paragraph.
MySQL [b][i]IS[/i][/b] a database program, not a version of the SQL language. It's primary form of use is through the SQL language. Be it PHP, COld Fusion or ASP, etc that uses SQL to access it.
I recently ported a ODBC relational database from Access to MySQL that I have running on my test server. Next comes PHP for me, as I already have a Cold Fusion set of pages working with the original ODBC database.
So far I like PHP, very clear and very similar to JavaScript...
Well, I was a bit hasty and tired when I wrote my earlier post. So hear goes....
MySQL is a database type (among other things), but at the same time it also [b]IS[/b] a version of SQL language.
MySQL actually is as a whole a [b]database management system[/b], which [b]includes[/b] a MySQL database and a MySQL language among other things.
When MySQL DB was developed you couldn't have used it without having a new version of SQL language made, which supports those unique new features of it, now could you Jack? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]
Those new commands, which are executed in SQL language queries and which the MySQL DB supports, had to be implemented to the SQL language in order to make use of those new features the MySQL DB offers and that thus essentially made a new SQL language version called MySQL. Just like there is for example Oracle SQL, or Progress's own version of SQL (I also used to study Progress database programming many moons).
The SQL language and databases actually goes hand in hand, because if you create a new DB type you have to develope a new version of SQL language to support it as well.

Sorry for the lack of any forum move.
As it turns out, I contracted a bout of pneumonia (thought it was a cold, then the flu...) and have been in bed since last tuesday. *ick*
But I'm getting better now, and am finally using the computer and getting on the internet again, so the forums will be moved when the time allows. Right now, I don't feel like doing much related to anything at all, so I'm just going to rest for a bit and see how I feel in a few days.
It hit me on my break. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img]
I didn't even notice the signs of it coming on until last tuesday, when it hit me. It was very strange, and I thought it was the flu, so didn't treat it as I should have.
Once my mother had an idea of what it was, she started a really great treatment consisting of chicken soup, some ginger, and various other herbs (also some tylenol, but that's for the pain, not the healing).
I'm supposed to recover just in time to go back to college, so *ick*. At least I came here early. Had I stayed at RIT like I originally planned, I'd be in terrible condition with no medicine, no money, and nothing to do, which would have been much worse.
I'd also be surrounded by bricks, which would be terribly boring. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]
Hope you get better. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
