SQL is a database backend. SQL runs this and all forums as well as most online stores and 90% of things on the internet.

select * from internet where usesSQLserver = 'true'

Too many results to display.

nerdiest ****ing joke I have ever made. I really should be shot in the face.

$elementxero = 'correct';

You pronounce it "Sequel." It stands for Structured Query Language.

Basically a language that calls data from a database.

For example:

SELECT * FROM refrigerator WHERE type = 'fruit'

In literal terms this would tell you to grab all the fruit from your refrigerator.

This forum uses SQL, imagine if you had to manually create every page on this forum.

When you come to this page it performs a huge number of sql queries.

Tells the server to display all all posts in the database that is related to this topic, for example.

Much more complex, but maybe that will clear things up a bit.
