Hi :)
My guess is that he meant 

H Sql Db 

SQL = the standard language used by most database programs.  Most add a little 
bit (few extra commands and stuff) to the basic language to help ensure that 
people can't easily switch to another program even though they all ostensibly 
use Sql.  

Db = Database

H is the only bit that distinguishes exactly which program is being talked 
about.  

Note that other programs also use Sql or Db in their name.  For example 
MySql/MariaDb, Postgresql.  Only Access doesn't have any of that in it's name.  
Of course MS make many claims that Access does use Sql but it's such a heavily 
tweaked version of Sql that it's almost unrecognisable.  If you learn Access 
then you need to forget&re-learn if you want to switch to anything else.  The 
others tend to just have a few differences so it's not so tough to move between 
them.  At least, so i have heard.  

Regards from 
Tom :)
