SQL vs Other Coding Languages

Question

Apologies if this is a simple or obvious question, but I am new to this space (by which I mean coding in general). I am taking the intro SQL course to get familiar with common functions and language structure. However, when looking at some of the community "Code Coaches", SQL is not an option. Rather, it is C, C++, etc.. Why is SQL not an option? If I want to become more familiar with Microsoft SQL Server and the coding language most suited for that application, which course/language would you all recommend I do after SQL?

Answer 1

The Code Coaches tasks are general coding assignments designed for learners, it encourages a learner to study. Because to be able to complete a task a learner has to understand some subjects.

SQL on the other hand is a language designed for one specific purpose, that is database management. As powerful SQL is by its own specification, it wasn't designed for general task.

About SQL Server (MSSQL) you might wanna look into anything related to T-SQL, that's the term people use to refer MSSQL specific language.
