Underpinning theory and function of SQL - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

I have built a database and included for the first time inner joins using SQL, i am not sure of the actual function to run the system as with visual basic which doesnt need a program to execute it.

How does SQL function?
Is it the same as Visual Basic requiring no program?
Whats the theory behind it?

Any help would be appreciated thanks

SQL is just a language, you need specified DBMS (Database Management System) to start working using SQL, e.g. MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL etc.
