SQL vs MySQL | Differences between SQL and MySQL Databases

Sql is an acronym for the (STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE),

it comes in handy while working with relational databases while mysql is a relational database.

management system for storing retrieving modifying and administering databases.

Today we are going to talk about the differences between sql and mysql,

  

1 – Introduction to databases.

2 – Introduction to RDBMS.

3 – What is sql

4 – Why should you use Sql

5 – What is mysql

6 – Why should you use Mysql

7 – Sql Vs mysql  

 

1 – Introduction to databases. 

Databases are organized collection of data for easy access and management,

it enables us to store any form of data in vast quantities like you organize in tables rows and columns,

the main purpose of the database is operation and storage and managing data

few examples of databases are

Mysql

Oracle

Mongodb

Sql server etc

 

 

2 – Introduction to RDBMS.

So rdbms or relational database management is a more complex database management system,

that lets you organize maintain retrieve and register tabular databases.

It is one of the most commonly used tools by data analysts and database managers,

and in rdbms data is always stored in tables and remain accessible.

 

 

3 – What is sql

So sql or structured query language is the standard language for operating managing and accessing databases.

It is owned and hosted by microsoft it can be used to create programs that make changes to databases also to construct and alter database schemas.

So here's a few basic queries of sql like,

SELECT which helps you to extract data from the database,

 

CREATE DATABASE which can help you to make new databases then,

 

DELETE which can help you delete the data from the data set.

 

ALTER TABLE which helps you to modify a pre-existing table,

 

INSERT INTO which helps you to insert new data into a pre-existing database,

 

CREATE TABLE which helps you to create new table within the database,

 

UPDATE which helps you to update the data in a database,

 

FROM which helps you to retrieve data from specific columns of a table and,

 

WHERE which helps you to filter rec based on conditions.

 

 

 

4 – Why should you use Sql

If you have to talk about why we should use sql the reason can be many,

firstly it helps you to learn data mining in an efficient way. 

The nsql programmers are highly in demand in the job market.

The data stored in sql is dynamic and sql is effective in data manipulation at any time.

Sql can combine two or more sources to extract the required data set and,

It can also help you to manage  servers or create your own server.

 

 

5 – What is Mysql

So mysql was created back in 1995 by mysql ab, but now it is owned by oracle and sold by oracle as well,

it is an open source relational database management which can perform certain functions in a database using sql commands.

C and C plus plus are the programming languages that are used to create mysql and it practically runs on all major operating systems like,

 

Windows

Mac

Os

Linux and

unix based computers.

 

6 – Why should you use Mysql

Would be it offers extensive support for all types of application development.

Plugin libraries are available in mysql for embedding database functionality into any application.

It also includes connectors and drivers.

it provides application developers with all they need to construct data-driven information systems as well and,

it even provides comprehensive support for every application development need.

 

7 – Sql Vs mysql  

Let's come to our topic for today that is sql versus mysql

 

	SQL	Mysql
1 – Definition	Sql is the standard language for operating managing and accessing databases.	Mysql is a relational database management system for storing retrieving modifying and administering databases.
2 – History	Sql was born in 1970 as a programming language known as sql.   it was developed by microsoft corporation but now it is also known as sql.	Mysql claims to be the first open source relational database in the early 1990s.   it was developed by mysql ab and is currently owned by oracle corporation.
3 – Complexity	Efficiently you must first learn and then grasp the language to start working with sql.	while for mysql you can easily access it by downloading and installing the same.
4 – Usage	Sql is a programming language so it can be used by querying and operating	mysql allows for data manipulation storage modification and deletion in a tabular format
5 – Syntax Or Format	sql is a programming language as we all know now,   the syntax and format are fixed it's declarative and easy to use.   it starts with the clause and ends with a semicolon.	Mysql is a software and it is not a programming language,   hence it does not have any commands or any format
5 – Update	Sql is a programming language it is fixed and command remains unchanged and we can't update it	Mysql has its latest updates and versions for enhanced performance
6 – Supporting Language	Sql was designed for windows but it also works on linux mac os in its most recent versions.	Mysql is a cross-platform compatible running on linux mac os and windows as well.
6 –Data Security	sql servers are secured as no third party or outsiders are allowed to manipulate data.	Mysql it is susceptible to more security threats due to its open source nature.
