The icon will have the word "SQL" . A user will click on the icon/button and the application will show the SQL syntax.

Is this supposed to be company specific? There's already fa-database which in itself makes sense to most people as SQL. If you want it to show SQL syntax, that would have to be done with html/css.

There are many types of databases. Granted SQL is the most known. But there are several flavors of SQL as well. As a programmer, this would be nice to display on a portfolio site...

I think there is president for having a generic "SQL" icon.
There are icons for python and java and JS, and while those have more standardized syntaxes there are significant runtime differences that are similar to SQL.
The "JS" icon may indicate Javascript syntax, but I doesn't mean I can copy that code and just run it without knowing the proper environment. The fact that something is Javascript does not imply the runtime, flavor, or version (browser vs NodeJS, or ES5 vs ES6, which module syntax, etc.).
Similarly a SQL icon would indicate the general language, but does not imply the flavor or expected runtime (TSQL, PLSQL, Sqlite, etc.).
