- codegeek 4y agoIt is not difficult. It is just not in fashion to learn SQL directly. I can't tell you how many times I have interviewed "full stack" devs who cannot explain a simple join.
- znpy 4y agoI’d say it’s medium difficulty, and it’s one of those things that really take time to master.
- osigurdson 4y agoIt has a bit of a hokey syntax. The original syntax was eschewed in the 70s because it looked too technical. The hope was it could be used directly by non-developers. Of course, that never happened so we are left with this somewhat peculiar prosy compromise. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6359709 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6359709
