  SQL is a scripting language. You don't program it.

    Yeah, everyone knows you incant it.

    But the distinction between languages is very blurred these days. Just what is a "scripting" language anymore? It used to be whether a language wasn't compiled or capable of heavy lifting, but with Python and JavaScript (node.js) running from the server and basically underpinning the entire web, it's not really a useful distinction any more.

    Anyway, SQL is not a scripting language, it's a structured query language for the domain specific task of talking to databases.

    And "programming" is still the appropriate verb whether it's for scripting, database, systems level, graphics, or machine code.

      Keep up your SQL 'programming', haxxor, there are procedural extensions. Maybe Koding with Klossy is for you, if not tautology. SQL is 'a' structured query language? Wow. My insider tip is that NASA is a space agency located in North America. ;) Like you, I find that fact both self evident and fascinating.

      Crocfreefree: "it's a structured query language"

      Quora: "Despite what some other responders have said, SQL does NOT stand for Structured Query Language. That is a moniker that was pasted on it after the fact. The language, which is a declarative language, and which in its current standard version supports looping and other features of procedural languages, was initially developed by IBM. It was called SEQUEL, which was an acronym for Structured English QUEry Language. The name was appropriate because the form of SQL statements is much like English sentence structure, but even more structured. It is Structured English, not a structured query language. It is not what computer scientists call a structured language at all because it supports the Go To function, which is the hallmark of unstructured languages, such as BASIC.

      When IBM’s in-house SEQUEL became a commercial product, because of a trademark problem, they dropped the vowels and called it SQL. Many people still pronounced it as sequel and that practice has stuck. The proper pronunciation is ess-queue-ell and it is not an acronym. As is the case with C, the letters do not “stand for” anything."

      "it is Structured English, not a structured query language".

  Is this a good way to learn SQL? I'm currently using sololearn but it seems like it'll only take me so far

  • 

    dm01 on 12/08/2018 - 11:28

    Most likely not. This appears to be a self-published book, so of questionable quality and/or accuracy, and the two other titles the "author" has credited to their name are on the topics of cryptocurrency and hemp oil respectively.

    Best find yourself an SQL title from a reputable author - there's a good reason why many eBooks are frequently given away for free.

      My lecturer hates 90% of the information on the internet. He's incredibly well versed in everything ICT. So i asked why doesn't he issue articles and information on the many sectors. He's yet to give me a response lol.

        Has your lecturer read all the information of the internet?

        He only read 90%, but he hates all of it.

        Frayin on 12/08/2018 - 12:26

        @ozhunter: hates 100% of 90% of it. My other lecturer holds PhDs in chemical sciences and strongly believes climate change is not an issue. Soooo…. ya.

      • 

        dm01 on 12/08/2018 - 13:24

        @Frayin: PhDs don't count for all that much anyway, in my opinion. As for climate change, it most certainly is an issue, but it's the cause of it that's debatable.

      Can you recommend some good online courses/books?

      I've recently started a job where I feel having SQL knowledge would help me greatly.
