what is the difference between SQL and MySQL

Mighty broad question, is there anything specific you are trying to determine?

SQL is Structured Query Language. It's a language designed for querying sets of data (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL)
SQL Server is a RDBMS, database product, from Microsoft. It is built to run on Windows, and includes a lot of features that are normally not in other database products. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server
MySQL is an open source, free as in beer, product that can be used as a database. It does not include all the features of SQL Server, but it runs on more platforms, and has some interesting additions that SQL Server does not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql
Both are databases and perform many of the same functions.
