Is SQL an open source software or open access software?

Answer

SQL is not software in the sense that you can run it as a program. SQL stands for Structured Query Language and is only that a language.

In order to execute (run) SQL queries against a database, you need an implementation that can interpret the SQL statement and return the data as specified from your data store.

Also, Open Access as a concept does not apply to software. See related links for details.
