Anyone's job on the line or lost a job recently?

Id be questioning the salary of those that believe SQL is a coding language. It's for data extraction and manipulation, not for building an app. Tableu and Power BI are largely self service visualisation tools, still requiring some shmuck to ensure people are working with clean and managed data. I'm not even in IT, but data is king for those managers that ignore the fluff and make informed decisions, especially when I have made it mandatory for them to justify, with fact, the reason for the decisions. In saying that, Machine Learning, Cognitive Services and IoT is the way to go imho.

Hmmmm
What is SQL if not a form of coding language?

It's a fourth generation language meaning it gets closer to normal human language.Screenshot_20200331-234323.jpg

Yeah, if you are not in IT, you shouldn't say anything at all.
SQL is 100% coding language used by ETL Developers, Data Engineers, Data Sceintists all over.
And it is an absolute must-have for back-end programmers so any apps, websites, IOT, machine learning all use it to varying degree.

Yep, you don't give a flying fuck at all.
That's why you commented.
You see the irony?

I have to agree with @Crusader on this one. SQL is more like a scripting language. I wouldn't call it 100% coding language.

But guys remember this... history will show that if you start studying in a field where it's currently hot jobs, most likely it will get cold by the time you reach the market. remember before syd 2000, everyone was into hospitabilty...

I understand what you mean. It does not need compiling so it is a scripting language but nonetheless, it is a coding language.
The point that tips it in the favour of being a programming language is stored procedure capability most databases have.
They allow SQL to have programming constructs like logical operators (AND/OR), control flow (IF/ELSE), Looping, and so on.

Anyway, lets drop this topic. I can already imagine some of the forumers rolling their eyes.
