Sql is the command line prompt, where we can enter commands of DDL,DML and
DCL to perform transaction in database. i.e

sql> select * from dual;

sql> select count(*) from dual;

SQL*Plus is the command line sql and PL/SQL language interface that ships
with the oracle database client and server. It can be used interactively or by
the script of coding.

SQL*Plus is used by the DBA?s and developers to interact with the oracle
database.

So we can say sql*Plus is an Interface by that DBA?s can interact with database
and SQL is the command line prompt where user can enter commands to execute
certain tasks.
