Hi Jaynallu
SQL is and acronym for "Structured Query Language". In simple terms it is a programming language for working with the data stored in a database.
There are a number of database applications available that use SQL.
MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle are a few of them.

That question is very "all encompassing", you could write a book answering it. If you would like more specific answers then ask a more specific question.
There are plenty of people hear who are only too happy to provide assistance to you.

The websites for the particular database application might be a good place to start.
Google is a great way to find tutorials and explanations with a well formed search string.
This forum is a great place to ask questions about somthing you are having trouble with.
Getting hands on experience with the database is the best teacher.
Also the help files for the database you are using are a great place to start learning its perculiarities.
Another great place that a lot of people forget is your local library.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend any particular books as I have learnt via the above methods. There are lots of them around I am sure someone will have one or more to recommend.

Good luck.
