i did tons of sql couple of years ago on a reporting team. Now I do android dev fulltime and don't remember any SQL beyond basics, highly doubt it will all come back to me if i tried.
- baq 7y agoit doesn't matter, you'll google the details. many people aren't aware that sql isn't just a stupid way of filtering tables and can do things server-side that you'd spend hours implementing and testing on the application side with worse performance in the end most of the time.
