SQL is Structured Query Language
It is used to handle different types of data in different ways for a database.
select , insert, update, and delete or just a few types of commands that can be performed on a SQL database.
As far as being hard....it isn't... but it is a very indepth language and there is a lot to know about it. Most people can get by with the basics.
There is much written about it on the internet.

SQL is Structured Query Language. It's used to get information into and out of a database. It's not hard to learn, and you can probably find a class for it at almost any local community college. You can probably find a class online, too, if you tried looking. That's what search engines are for....

It's VERY easy. I taught myself SQL in about a day, and I'm no hacker. If you can find a halfway decent textbook and an Access or MySQL practice database to experiment in, you're set.
On edit: Databases themselves, on the other hand, might be a bit harder to learn if you have no programming experience. Do you have MS Access on your computer? Beg, borrow, or steal a textbook on basic DB's and go from there, paying particular attention to what a database actually is, as well as what a record, table, form, query, and report is. Basic DB theory and practice isn't hard either, but you need to put in some practice on it. Do this first, and then teach yourself SQL once you know your way around a database.
