SQL is a database computer language designed for the retrieval and management of data in relational database management systems (RDBMS), database schema creation and modification, and database object access control management. MS SQL and Oracle are products or companies selling databases which can be queried by SQL. If you are looking for something completely else, there is MDX. Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) is a query language for OLAP databases, much like SQL is a query language for relational databases. It is also a calculation language, with syntax similar to spreadsheet formulas. MDX is mainly used to query OLAP Cubes. Hopefully this could help a bit and clear things up.

Does anyone know if a substitute exists for sql? I mean besides MS SQL and Oracle and all that jazz. Thanks. You know, the thing about SQL is, that there is virtually nothing that can replace it.
