The acronym SQL stands for Specialized Query Language. It is a specialized computer language for handling databases. When someone refers to an SQL count, it means to use this program language to either horizontally or vertically count the number of rows in a piece of data. This feature could be used to count the number of names of people in a digital phone book, for instance.

What is the difference between sql and an sql server?

SQL is an abbreviation for Structured Query Language. SQL is a means to request data from a database. SQL is a standards based langage that has many versions approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). There are many versions of ANSI-SQL and most databases support specific versions of ANSI-SQL. SQL Server is a database management system that was originally created by Sybase. Microsoft bought the rights from Sybase to market their own version of SQL Server on the Microsoft Windows operating system. Sybase still has versions of SQL Server on other operating systems. When people refer to SQL Server, they typically mean "Microsoft SQL Server." Microsoft SQL Server is a database management system (DBMS) that utilizes SQL (or more specifically Transact-SQL, or T-SQL) as a means to extract data from it's database tables.

What is the difference between sql server and ms sql 2000 database?

SQL Server is most often referred to as Microsoft SQL Server, but there is also a Sybase SQL Server which was originally created on UNIX in 1987. MS sql 2000 database, or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a database server product. So, when you ask what is the difference, I do not see a difference, they are one in the same. Unless your question is asking for the difference between the Sybase version and Microsoft version, or you are wanting to compare different versions of Microsoft SQL Sever. In which case, I think your question must be more specific. arnel... SQL stands for (Structured Query Language). A SQL server can cover a host of products. Oracle is a SQL server however when speaking of Oracle people usually refer to it is Oracle. The server in fact is a SQL server. Microsoft SQL server is often simply referred to as SQL Server not because they 'own' the product or anything, just because of the popularity. I can draw a parallel for you. When you own a SeaDoo watercraft (as I do) people will refer to it as a jetski, same with a Kawasaki, Polaris, or any other brand. The fact is that this name (JetSki) is used interchangable however the Kawasaki Standup model watercraft is the only true 'jetski'. Anyway there are many 'flavors' of SQL server (MYSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, Postgress SQL, just to name a few. You can find more information about SQL server, its history and some additional 'flavors' at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL Hope that helps.
