what is a my/sql?

what is a SQL?

Structured Query Language. Its used to query a database for information or to make adds/updates/and deletes etc.

For phpBB forum.
I need to setup be to have SQL to do it.

Do you mean MySQL or SQL?

MySQL is a (freeware?) database which is often used for bulletin boards, forums etc.
SQL is, like RobDog already said, the abbreviation for Structured Query Language, the language to talk with a database.

I think you made a typo in the url (musql.com instead of mysql.com).

So here is a working link
