| Hello my name is Paul Hofer I am currently in the USAF, stationed in California, as a data analyst/database manager. I am due to separate from the military in early 2011 and I am very intrigued by the programming and DBA side of the house but the problem is the programs we use in the Air Force are only used by us. So I am being the journey to the civilian side. Now finally the question:Is there a guru that is willing to answer some questions I have through PM's. I don't have a ton just a few. |

| Well I guess the reason was to not seem like a complete noob but that would make more sense I guess.-Are there different versions of SQL? I am seeing PL/SQL, MYSQL, and SQL-Is using MS Access using SQL? -Right now I am going to the Univ. of Phoenix and the degree program for Database's is kind of limited, and I am having a hard time finding a college or Univ. that encompasses everything needed (it is also very possible i don't fully know or understand everything I need to be included in the degree program)-Does Oracle use SQL?I will start with these |

| Oracle,MySQL,SQL Server,MSAccess etc are different types of RDBMS. PL/SQL is Oracles proprietary procedural extension to the SQL database language |

How diffrent or simliar are they? I mean are they close enough to where if you knew one then you could use the others? |
