Did the class learn SQL before they learned Datalog? Did they know SQL before entering the class? Did they learn the principles behind SQL, or just understand how to use the language to get things done?
Finding Datalog useless and frustrating comes from those who have never expanded the depth of their knowledge beyond the basic popular languages and tools of the day. Slight exposure to logic programming and base-level relational model theory makes this tractable.

- Fellshard 5y agoI am willing to make that assumption when we're talking about people in an academic context.
