If SQL is so easy, why many people don't understand this language?

Answer 1

Good question. The people who thinks SQL is easy belongs to a small group of people does not belongs to the group of the many people who do not understand this language. 🐈

Answer 2

I think because it is mainly used for data driven things like databases. The average persons doesnt need to make new queries, they just use the ones supplied by the programmers. I dunno. I thought alot of people know it. Maybe I am wrong :)

Answer 3

I've tried SQL by my basic knowledge of it I performed several small SQLi attacks (dont worry its a free try-your-hacking-skills-site) The beauty of SQL, it holds both evil and truth

Answer 4

I can say the basics of SQL is very very easy. but if you dive deeper into core, with sub-queries as your bridge, I m sure you will find the true taste of SQL.

I know of SQL developers working in real-time environment with over 3-4yrs experience, who have failed SQL certs. ITS NOT EASY

Answer 5

不学，不了解就觉得会难

Answer 6

It's a multitude of things. The main difference with Sql is that it's not like a procedural language where you look at things one step at a time, telling it what to do. With SQL you have to look at the thing as a whole, physical entity, with ever changing parts. Almost like a living breathing rubix cube that gives you word problems to solve in order to talk to it.

Answer 7

No sql is not easy because first we should understand the query and then we will use the sql statements. Never think it's easy because easy going always give complicated output only.

Answer 8

SQL is easy (like other languages too), but tricky part is to figure out what to do with it!

Answer 9

its easy to people that have a true hand for this. if you have never even accidently stumbled across hidden dev files then this would probably not be considered easy to you?
