well SQL is a language, not a program, so you need an SQL database running in the first place, which you've not mentioned... are you using mysql? postgresql? oracle? They all have their command line clients and programming APIs to integrate with.

you can't install "SQL" it's a standard database language, not a program. If you're starting completely from scratch then use mysql, which will be on your installation media or available via yum / apt etc...

yum search postgres

Pick whichever modules you may need on top of
postgresql-server
