  1. SQL is a language... "Stuctured Query Language"

    SQL Server is a microsoft database engine.

    you run SQL statements against databases that support it, such as SQL Server, Access, or Oracle.  you need to have the databse engine installed on the machine you are running your SQL query against.

    I have the book SQL for dummys... it is actually pretty helpful:
