Welcome to Joomla forum!

Joomla and WordPress are both Content Management Systems, but different.
They both use PHP for the coding indeed and SQL for the database.

However their code is completely different and so is the database structure.
Joomla used the MVC pattern (Model Controller View) in it's code, and its code is OOP. I am not sure what WordPress uses and whether it uses OOP or procedural code .

IMHO Joomla's database is better structured and organized. WordPress stores different information in the same tables. With WordPress you need plugins for everything while Joomla has a lot of functionality in the code.

So you cannot shift easily from one CMS to another.
