SQL was developed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM. Maybe the author of this piece of software should not want to use a language developed by a company which he no doubt considers to be below his moral standards? It is a good thing that just like this person we all are free to choose which products to use and which to avoid. As an aside I do wonder why so many former west-Germans ended up so far to the left while their former east-German compatriots - who have suffered for close to half a century under a left-wing regime - went the opposite way. I also notice that many 'educated' former west-Germans consider themselves to be morally superior to those AfD-voting former east-Germans which seems quite incongruous given the political left's insistence on using people's 'lived experience' as a guideline on where the truth lies. Does this 'lived experience' not count if it goes against the desired narrative?
