SQL is a standardization of Database Procedures. In the 'olde' days, everyone used different commands and features and then there were always problems adapting code, retrieving information, etc from various databases. SQL solves some of these problems.MYSQL and PostGresql are two implementations of SQL by two different groups, both of which are Open Source, although the Mysql is also available as a commercial product. Postgresql is available from Sourceforge, the Open Source site.PHP5 comes packaged with an 'SQL-lite' which doesn't have all the features of these other packages, but is quite effective for smaller applications, ie: a cd library, address book, mailing list, etc.

This is another one of those questions that could be answered by going to Wikipedia or, god forbid, the mysql and postgresql websites.
