ADO.NET is a web-enabled database application.. Likewise, is sql also a web-enabled database application?

ADO.Net is a component to develop database driven application but not a database application itself. SQL is a generic named for database driven language and it's a not a web application. It's a language that serves the purpose of extracting and manipulating data in a database. Probably what you're trying to refer to is MS SQL (Microsoft SQL) ?

It's not necessary that a SQL should be web enabled. But with everything now is web-enabled, most of the major database vendors will have their database web-enabled. A database is a back-end stuff that provides information storage. You need to write interface and logic using programming tools like VB.Net, C#, C++, etc. to display and manipulating data in a database. This is the part where you can web enabled or not web enabled, depending on the programming tool you use.
