Can someone copyright a SQL query?

,----[ Quote ]
| So now my boss is worried that we're violating 
| the copyright. And that the guy is gonna find 
| out that I updated the query myself because we 
| haven't asked him to update it this year and 
| take legal action.
| 
| So back to the subject's question: Can he 
| really copyright this query? And if so, is 
| modifying it ourselves a copyright violation? 
| In my mind, a single query isn't program code. 
| It's more a command line command. But I don't 
| know what it's considered legally.

Open-source culture at heart of Oracle deal

,----[ Quote ]
| But like most open-source companies, MySQLâs
| sales, tied to support deals, never matched
| the astronomical number of downloads for its
| product, about 60,000 a day. In January 2008,
| the founders decided to sell the company for
| $1 billion to Sun Microsystems. And this
| year, Sun agreed to sell itself to Oracle,
| which makes database software aimed at larger
| companies and tougher jobs, for $7.4 billion.
