ober Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 You need to start googling. MySQL is a database. It stores data. SQL is the syntax you use to query that data that you have stored and add more data to it (or remove data as the case may be). Neither has much to do with learning PHP.

xcoderx Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ok last question, sites with php mysql do use the sql right? Like u said sql is syntax to query the data, so if i learn sql then it would help me with mysql too right?

Daniel0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language. MySQL is an RDBMS (relational database management system) that uses a dialect of SQL. PostreSQL, DB2, Oracle, SQLite and MS SQL Server are other examples that also use their own dialect of SQL. That means they each share common features, but also have unique proprietary features. It's the same way that you have English as a kind of general language, and then you have a lot of dialects and sociolects thereof.

xcoderx Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks all for your help, have u all not learned sql? Or you have straight away learned mysql? To b able to make php and mysql site do we only have to learn php and mysql then?

Daniel0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 You would benefit from knowing what is standard SQL (i.e. what is part of the ANSI standard) and what is MySQL specific, but strictly speaking I suppose you don't need to.

Philip Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I apologize if that sounds harsh but, if you can't grasp what Daniel/Ober tried to tell you about what MySQL/SQL is.... then I don't know how well you're going to do in that class at all.
