Re: FN-FORUM SQL

date posted 1st April 2000 21:16

To add to what Amar has said:

SQL is the language which is used to manipulate a database. Oracle and
MySql are both different types of database management system, both use
SQL as a method to create database tables and modify/store data in these
tables.

SQL is actually an ANSI standard and MySql adhears to this standard but
does lack a couple of useful features that Oracle (for example)
provides. All the big database management systems use SQL and some add
nifty extensions to it.

Freelancers.net uses a MySql database to store pretty much everything
(including this email!).

The Freelancers.net resources section has some useful links relating to
databases, and SQL:

Good Luck
