Agreed that LLMs are quite good at SQL (and relational algebra). However, ask yourself this: how many programming languages do you know to at least a comfortable level? If N > 1, why not add another (SQL)? It’s not a difficult language, which is in part why LLMs are so good at it – it’s easy to predict the next token, because there are so few of them.
- cpursley 2y agoI know SQL pretty well (enough to write complex procedures) and prefer it over doing biz logic in application code (yuck ORMs). But SQL is just such a wonky syntax that I appreciate any help that I can get.
