RE: SQL, SQL PLUS, PL/SQL

I understood the difference to be that: SQL (structured query language) offers the lowest level, base commands to interface with the database; SQL*Plus is an extension of the base commands with some added features; and PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) is a further extension of SQL that allows one to build executable programs and sets of programs that are compiled into the database.

I was recently asked, what is the difference between SQL, SQL Plus and PL/SQL. I admit it ... I choked !!
Where can I find a good definition of each??
