SQL is Structured Query Language. SQL is basically a database language primarily designed for managing and manipulating data in DBMS or RDBMS.

DBMS is Database Management System and RDBMS is Relational Database Management System. DBMS and RDBMS both are the procedures to store data in the form of columns and rows. The main difference between both is that in Relational Database Management System we can make a relationship between the tables. In RDBMS we also have an additional feature of putting constraints and ensuring security with regard to data manipulation. SQL Server is referred to as a server that implements Structured Query Language.
