PL/SQL is the 'Programming Language'(3GL) extension to SQL, whereas SQL totally relies on 4GL principles. You would use PL/SQL to programmatically access and/or manipulate data.

:= is a PL/SQL construct meaning as much as 'becomes', so xvalue := 1 + 3 means that the xvalue will become the result of 1 + 3.
