SQL is a kind of language, like English. The SQL language is spoken by most relational database systems, such as SQLite, PostGres, MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, etc. Of course most of them bend the standard language a bit to their own needs in much the same way that English differs between America and England, but it's still English. A good grasp of SQL in general will enable you to use any of these systems, not just a single one. Myself and others here will be happy to share even more or answer any other questions you may have as you learn, you are not alone! I am however going to suggest we go off-list for any more pointers regarding the above, simply because this thread has become a little verbose for the purposes of the list - but that's simply in consideration of the other readers, you are welcome to post any other questions.
