The phrase "SQL programmers" is so fucking weird. SQL isn't a programming language. It's a query language. You don't "program" things with SQL. You utilize SQL as a component of programs for data insertion and lookup, but the actual logic of execution is done in a programming language. Unless you're doing Oracle PL/SQL, in which case why are you giving money to Oracle?

Edit: Damn, this comment made people mad.

Most database engines support stored procedures. You don't need to give money to oracle, you can give it to Microsoft instead.

Or not at all? Postgres? MariaDB? I think I missed the /s. I'm slow hah

Yes, those work :-) giving money to MS was more of a joke.
