SQL is a declarative language for issuing commands to relational database systems (RDBMS). Though different brands of RDBMS implement their own flavors of SQL, they typically support a standardized usage of a set of commands for retrieving and modifying data. There are many tools available for dynamically constructing charts from data, be it retrieved from an SQL query or otherwise. For desktop use, there's always Microsoft Excel. If you're making a WinForms or Web application, there are numerous controls out there that perform charting. Google will help you find a bunch.
