HQL is the short form for Hibernate Query Language, while SQL is the short form for Structured Query Language. HQL is an object query language, while SQL is a database language. HQL is similar to SQL and is easy. HQL is case insensitive.

SQL is based on a relational database model, while HQL is a combination of oriented programming with a relational database. SQL is concerned with the relationship between two tables, while HQL is considered the relationship between two objects.

HQL is concerned about the objects and their properties, while SQL is used to manipulate data stored in tables and modifies. HQL is used to implement all OOP; it returns the child object as part of the query result.

To know the difference between the two, you should first know what they mean. HQL means Hibernate Query Language while SQL means Standard Query Language. HQL is a query language that is more object-oriented. This means that it will be more focused more on the different objects that are available and their corresponding properties.

The SQL is more of a relational database model. This will also make sure that the data and the tables are properly modified. This is what you will use when you want to make sure that the rows and columns are aligned and working properly. The relationship between the two tables will also be the concern of SQL.
