Hi mandie,
PL/SQL, as Mark explained, is the name for Oracle's proprietary
procedural additions to the SQL language.
SQL Server has also added proprietary features (both procedural and
declarative) to SQL; these are collectively called "Transact-SQL" (or
T-SQL for short).
If you want to study the version that gives you the best chance to get a
job, check the job ads in your local newspapers. If you want the best
chance of a job now AND LATER, then whatever you study, make sure that
you are aware of which features are standard and which are proprieatry;
that will save you lots of time if you later decide to (or have to)
switch to another DB platform.
