SQL is a special purpose programming language, and yes it is declarative for the biggest part. As for the meat of your comment, I don't get it. SQL while not a general purpose programming language, is still a language. You still need to know the syntax, its limitations and flaws. | |

I think this becomes easier to forget with an ORM when you assume it did the correct thing as you don't really understand what it did anyway. | |
