SQL is structured query language for relational database and favorite of bad programmers because its not going to get scrambled up by bad code like nosql databases that are not structured query language style.
sql=columns and rows that can be cross referenced programmatically. Referential integrity is a relational database concept in which multiple tables share a relationship based on the data stored in the tables, and that relationship must remain consistent.
nosql=none of that but it just works

Databases store data in (usually) table-like structures. Columns denote data types and maximum sizes, and rows contain the actual data.

Yes. Look up sqlite. It's an SQL database system that stores everything locally in ordinary files. It has Java bindings. It comes with a command line utility, so you don't necessarily even need to program anything yet. Don't be afraid to fuck up, it's just a normal file, you can start over.
