From what I understand:

SQL = Structured Query Language.

MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, Informix (RIP), Sybase, etc are implementations of this broader language.

SQL is the language that is used to query the database, select and find records, insert and delete. It's a standard that's poorly followed, but the basics are supported by all.

mySql is a database engine, that accepts the SQL and follows the instructions it recieves, passing out the relevant data as required.


Some functions on phpmyadmin will not work for a another SQL server, as mySql has some non-standard commands. But some parts will work. Whatever database you're using, the should exist some administration tool.
