SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It's a standard language for accessing and manipulating databases. MySQL is a database management system, like SQL Server 2005, Oracle, Informix, Postgres etc. MySQL is a RDMS (Relational Database Management System). All types of RDMB use SQL.

As far as cost Mysql is free where as sql is not. Mysql does not have a interface or roboust as SQL has toast, and other editors. If you use php admin to do mysql changes you might find a little bit of a challenge to generate dumps and backups with giant databases. Mysql is light weight meaning not as plenty of records as SQL can be entered. Mysql is popular because is free and is installed in most servers and is simple to use.

SQL is short for Structured Query Language, and MySQL is a database management system, like SQL Server 2005, Oracle.
An example would be other programming languages like BASIC and QBASIC where BASIC is the generic term for the BASIC programming language and QBASIC is Microsoft's version (quick BASIC) and TURBO BASIC was Borlands version.

oracle supports the user defined datatypes,where as mysql not support all these types of datatypes, like user defined , and cursors like these stuff.
