SQL extends for Structured Query Language that enables the user to design and manage databases, while MySQL is a Relational database management system that allows a user to store and retrieve data from the database.
SQL is a standard language for retrieving
and manipulating structured databases. On the contrary, MySQL is a relational
database management system, like SQL Server, Oracle or IBM DB2, that is used to
manage SQL databases.
Both the technologies work on the concept of storing data as
per schema (table storage). MySQL is inclined more towards selecting the data
to facilitate data display, update and save the data again. It is a bit weaker
than SQL Server in terms of data insertion and deletion.
Many famous web-based applications and companies use MySQL like WordPress, YouTube, Joomla, etc. SQL is also used by many platforms like MYSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, etc.
Advantages
of SQL:
Faster
Query Processing: Large amount of data is retrieved quickly and efficiently.
No
Coding Skills: For data retrieval, large number of lines
of code is not required.
Standardized
Language: Due to documentation and long
establishment over years, it provides a uniform platform worldwide to all its
users.
Portable: It can be used in programs in PCs, server, laptops independent
of any platform (Operating System, etc).
Interactive
Language: Easy to learn and understand, answers to complex queries can
be received in seconds.
Multiple
data views
Advantages
of MySQL:
Flexibility: MySQL runs on all operating systems
Power: MySQL focuses on performance
Enterprise-Level SQL Features: MySQL had for some time been lacking in advanced features such as
subqueries, views, and stored procedures.
Full-Text Indexing and Searching
Query Caching: This helps enhance
the speed of MySQL greatly
Replication: One MySQL server can be duplicated on another, providing numerous
advantages
Configuration and Security.

MySQL |
|
SQL is developed by Microsoft Corporation. |
MySQL is combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael
Widenius's daughter, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured
Query Language now owned and managed by Oracle Corporation. |
|
SQL is a structured query language used for managing and retrieving
data from the database system. |
MySQL is a Relational database system that uses SQL to query data from
the databases. |
|
The syntax and format are fixed, declarative, and easy to use. |
MySQL is software and not a programming language, hence it does not
have any commands or particular format. |
|
SQL is proprietary based software owned by Microsoft and not open to
others for free. |
MySQL is an open-source free platform that allows access to any and
everyone. |
|
SQL was built for WIndows, works partially for Linux, macOS with its
latest versions. |
MySQL is adaptable for cross-platforms, working well for Linux, macOS,
Windows. |
|
SQL is in itself a programming language used for database systems. |
MySQL supports all the basic programming languages like C, C++, Perl,
PHP, Python, Ruby, and many others. |
|
SQL supports only a single storage engine for different operations. |
MySQL supports different storage engines and does not take up a lot of
space for different functions and operations. |
|
SQL servers are secured as no third party or outsiders are allowed to
manipulate data. |
MySQL is susceptible to more security threats due to its open-source
nature. It gives access to data manipulation and modification to unauthorized
users as well during the run-time. |
|
In SQL, the server and database work independently. This allows users
or interested parties to work on databases even during recovery sessions. |
MySQL servers do not work independently from databases and hence,
blocks the time for the users to do anything else. |
|
Time consumed for data restoration in SQL is less for a large amount
of data. |
In MySQL, the process of data restoration is quite time-consuming and
requires a number of SQL statements for the same. |
|
SQL allows truncating a query even during execution without disabling
the whole process. |
MySQL does not allow you to cancel a query in the middle of execution. |
|
SQL is available in different languages. |
MySQL is available only in a single language that is English. |
|
SQL does not come up or support any connectors. |
MySQL supports connectors like WorkBench Tool for building databases. |
|
SQL supports user-defined functions and XML. |
MySQL does not support any user-defined function and XML. |
|
The only support for SQL problems and queries is Microsoft Support
care due to its highly protective usage. |
MySQL has great community support as it allows free access. |
|
Default ports for SQL Server are 1433 & 1434. |
Default port for MySQL is 3306. |
|
SQL Server worked faster than MySQL for DELETE, UPDATE, and SELECT
queries. |
For the INSERT operations, MySQL worked faster than SQL Server. |
|
1103 companies reportedly use Microsoft SQL Server in their tech
stacks, including Accenture, Hepsiburada, Stack Overflow, Alibaba Travels,
Intuit, doubleSlash,etc |
Some organizations using MySQL include Facebook, Netflix, Twitter,
NASA, GitHub, YouTube, etc. |
|
It is written in C and C++ languages. |
It is also written in C and C++. |
|
Supports row-based filtering which filters out the records on a
database by database way. Gives the advantage of filtering multiple rows without
considering a number of databases. |
Allows to filter out the tables, rows, and users in a variety of ways.
However, MySQL supports filtering only on individual database basis |
|
In SQL Server, while backing up the data, the database is not blocked.
This allows users to complete the backup and data restoration process
completed in less time and efforts. |
Backup of the data can be taken by extricating all the data as SQL
statements. During the backup process, the database is blocked. This prevents
the instances of data corruption while migrating from one version of MySQL to
another. |
|
Since this is a language, it does not get updates. SQL commands always
remain the same. |
Since it’s a software, it gets frequent updates. |
SQL is a 4th generation programming language which is
multi-paradigm in nature. It is a declarative language and also contains
procedural elements. It was initially released in the year 1986 and since then
it became the most widely used database language. The latest version of SQL is
SQL 2016. SQL follows the ISO/IEC 9075 standard.
