Publisher's Synopsis
The truth is: SQL stands for Structured Query Language. Many people scoff dubiously when it is announced that SQL is, indeed, a programming language.
When people think of programming languages, all that comes to their mind are C++, Python, Java etc, . People disregard SQL as a programming language because of its interface structure and limited functionality. However, they fail to understand that while C++, Python are third level programming languages, and hence more developed, it doesn't change the fact that SQL falls under the umbrella of programming languages.
. The demand for this old, simple language is increasing rapidly because of its compatible nature. A person working on SQL can shift from one language from another, like Microsoft SQL, FoxPro and MY SQL.
If you think SQL is a dying language, then reconsider. Here are a few reasons why it is not:
- Knowledge of SQL creates opportunities for diverse career options
- The corporate world is using SQL to keep track of their database, meaning having knowledge of SQL is a helpful trait when it comes to finding jobs
