I understood when OP said the "concept of SQL" that they referred to a pretty broad idea of querying tabular data in rows and columns with some structured language.
- dominotw 8y agoI find it hard to accept that ppl are talking about 'querying tabular data in rows and columns with some structured language' when they talk about sql. They are surely talking about the specific syntax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

- chillacy 8y agoGreat, maybe you can ask the parent poster, but the following are now factual statements: 1. You believe in your interpretation. This is true. 2. The parent poster has their interpretation. This is true. 3. The statement "They are surely talking about the specific syntax" is true if and only if their interpretation is the same as your interpretation. 4. This is a semantic argument now.
- dominotw 8y ago> 4. This is a semantic argument now. What about wikipedia entry that lists a specific syntax?
- slap_shot 8y agoExactly.
