Answer 2

😂 I’ve turned on notifications for this post, because I completed the course, but I don’t know how to use it. 😂 I payed attention, but I just don’t get it.

Answer 3

@Jax - I'm guessing that when you say you "don't get it" you are probably saying this from a viewpoint of wanting to code programs.

SQL is a sort of programming language, but it isn't like the others, Python, C++, PHP, BASIC etc. in that you can build a program a user can interact with.

*SQL is all about _data_.*

I've slowly learnt (22 years and counting) that a program requires at least 2 elements: 1. a user interface, and 2. underlying data.

A database and SQL can provide a way for a _programmer_ (note: NOT the _user_) to create, store, modify, access and delete a program's underlying data easily, quickly, efficiently and in a way that will remain constant regardless of what programming language is being used to make the program.

Understanding databases and how to use SQL is a very good knowledge set to have even if you can't see it yet.

Edit: so my main points are that SQL makes it easy for a programmer to control a programs underlying data, and that the user interface of the program is not written in SQL, it will be written in something else, like C++ and the SQL calls will be made via C++ (or whatever language is being used).
