1. SQL = Structured Query Language. As the name indicates, it is a language that allows a user to query the database. A standardized SQL framework probably refers to compliance to the ANSI standard. Beware though, the ANSI standard defines various levels of compliance and thus different database engines can claim they are ANSI compliant even though they actually have different levels of compliance. In fact, I doubt there's even ONE engine out there that completely complies with the entire ANSI SQL standard. By the way, most DB engines allow various programming languages to run SQL queries on them. Since you mentioned COM, I'm willing to bet you can use any language that supports COM. This includes VB, Visual C++, Delphi, C++ Builder, Python etc.
2. Different engines have different capabilities, interfaces and data insertion tools for them. Never worked with MassGroup, so I can't really offer much advice here.
