Do some people get irritated when other people refer to a "SQL database" instead of a "SQL Server database"?
-
SQL is a language, SQL Server is a product, right? (Sorry for the awkward phrasing, I tried to do "does anybody else get irritated when..." but Quora won't allow it.) So, my question is not really whether some people get irritated, but whether I'm alone in my irritation.

Answer:
I regularly get upset when people say "SQL" and mean "MS SQL Server".

A SQL database would be one using SQL, including Oracle, MySQL, PostgresSQL, etc.

To go a step further, is only the query language. The server is actually a relational database management system, or . So you won't really avoid irritating people using the term "SQL database" either.
