"sql easy, data is hard". perfectly written. why even use sql if you are simply looking for patterns in static data? why not use an app dedicated to analytics, of which many exist? sql comes into play when data needs to be shared, and those types of apps need coders who would not struggle with sql. i simply do not buy the argument that sql is difficult to learn for competent coders.
