What flavor SQL does MySQL use?

Question

I've searched Google, but can't find an answer to this: what flavor SQL does MySQL use, if any?

The statement "Oracle = PL/SQL" is wrong. PL/SQL is **only** for stored procedures in Oracle. Everything else is "just" SQL. — , Jun 27 '13 at 06:44
How is that possible? Let's take the MINUS operator, that doesn't have to be used in stored procedures. I can use that in ad-hoc query. The problem I have with your statement is saying "just sql" implies it is platform independent. — uh_big_mike_boi, Jun 14 '15 at 02:12
