hi all,
i am new to databases. i have been doing a bit of reading and have come
across the terms sql,mysql,postgres.
now my understanding is that sql is a db language which is used by both
mysql and postgres. also mysql is a subset of postgres. a lot of
features in postgres come from mysql.
can somebody please clarify this and clear my doubts.
thanks.
