This topic was pretty difficult for me to grasp with out a good definition certain terms that I'll list here. But the video I watched about SQL databases made it easier to understand.
DEFINITIONS:
Database- A collection of information organized so that a computer program can quickly select desired pieces of data for the user. It works like a filing system or library.
Database Management System- A collection of programs that enable a user to store, modify and extract information from a database.
Query Language- A specialized language for requesting information from a database.
Structured Query Language (SQL)- a standardized query language for requesting information from a database.
The most typical use for a database system is to track information about a user of a site, their name, login info , various addresses and phone numbers.
Here's a forum I found about Filemaker -vs- MySQL
