This is also quite readable, no arguments there! I personally think SQL is a great language for broad appeal. I understand why people don't like it - there are many funky aspects - but I also understand why it's become dominant. Because it's just so damn useful.
WRT the MS specific language, my issue there is portability of knowledge. Someone with experience in say Oracle, 20 years ago, can reuse those skills with SQL. IMO, we need more common-language, independent-implementation tools like SQL in order to enable more people to code.
