Yet thank you for this explanation.

Most add a little bit (few extra commands and stuff) to the basic language to help ensure that people can't easily switch to another program even though they all ostensibly use Sql. Db = Database H is the only bit that distinguishes exactly which program is being talked about. Note that other programs also use Sql or Db in their name. For example MySql/MariaDb, Postgresql. Only Access doesn't have any of that in it's name. Of course MS make many claims that Access does use Sql but it's such a heavily tweaked version of Sql that it's almost unrecognisable. If you learn Access then you need to forget&re-learn if you want to switch to anything else. The others tend to just have a few differences so it's not so tough to move between them. At least, so i have heard.
