SQL is the only language through which you create or modify
data and structures in Oracle. Although other tools will
connect with the database, they all use SQL to read and
modify data.
Oracle's PL/SQL is a programming lanuguage that extends SQL
to include procedural elements, such as loops and whatnot.
