  I know a CEO who “can” do sql - and better than most of the people in the business who do sql — but they refuse to do it, because they understand basic economics. If they spend half a day doing a job someone else can do — even if it takes the other person 3 days — that’s half a day when they’re not doing the stuff that they alone can do. Similarly a competent CxO knows that the real time is spent on getting the details absolutely correct - null handling quirks, date handling, mismatched coalescing — even though sql is “high level” it still takes time and dedication to get a trustworthy answer - if there’s people who available who specialise in that, let them do that.
