The author forgot that in order to be successful in business environment SQL must be readable by advanced business users (with help of developers).
"Awesome new SQL syntax" is clearly for developers only and is not not suitable for business users.
- ollysb 16y agoI'm aware that sql was originally intended to be used by non technical business users but I've never known a single one that did. Have you had experience with people that do?
- dennisgorelik 16y agoYes I worked with some business people who understand SQL (at least somewhat). Any business analyst worth its salt understand and can write at least simple SQL (to pull the data from database). But even if business folks on your current project do not care about understanding SQL,your next project would have such people. So it would be very helpful if SQL version you have experience with is business-friendly.
