Hi,
SQL is a high level language, also known as fourth generation language. Unlike the low level language (c,c++), SQL uses "English like" statements, which makes the life of the person trying to learn it, very simple.
PL/SQL is also considered a high level language, but is has the powerful processing capabilities of the low level languages.
In SQL, you can tell what you want, and SQL gets you the result. You have no option as to how to execute the query (of course, there are some advanced options like hints etc., available). But in PL/SQL, you can manipulte the result set, and do whatever you want.
Hope this helps.
-Krish.
