I totally understand looking for graduates that know SQL for certain positions, but it is a specialty not taught in any core class. You can absolutely know CS and entire areas of programming without it. I used SQL all the time in web dev but haven't touched it since going to college. I do embedded so it's just never been necessary. Now if this is a web dev or data related posting and students are coming in supposedly for this specialty then this ask HN is a little more understandable. Although perhaps poorly worded.
