For simpler queries I suppose it is. Select, join, filter, group sort... maybe a secondary sort on an aggregate (HAVING). Full on DBA work is much more complicated, as are complex queries, especially against production databases. But against denormalized data and fact tables it can still be pretty accessible from a natural language standpoint, at least in my limited experience teaching a few people.
