Better for what?

It depends on the application, the available hardware, the number of concurrent users, the volume of data, scalabilty requirements and most importantly, your budget!

I'm guessing by 'SQL', you mean MySQL. SQL is a data manipulation language used by virtually all modern database systems in some form or another. It is not a database system in it's own right.

Oracle uses SQL as does Sybase, DB2, PostgreSQL and MySQL, etc.
