Database is a general term for a store of structured data that can be interacted with by an application. The database is usually a standalone data store, with a separate application (DataBase Management System) that handles the details of data storage, organisation, retrieval etc.
A relational database is a type of database which stores data in separate tables, each with columns and rows. An individual table isn’t much different to a spreadsheet, where each row represents an item of data, and each column represents an attribute of that data point. A relational DB is like multiple spreadsheets that reference that relate the data points together.
Structured Query Language is a type of computer language designed for interacting with relational databases and their data. It is a standard that databases from different vendors can choose to adopt or not.
A SQL Database is a type of database software that implements SQL as the prime mechanism for querying its data.
