Stop thinking SQL is just for queries.
SQL is everywhere. It's reliable, battle-tested, and is behind countless applications. But it's not just for SELECT statements and JOIN operations. SQL capabilities extend far beyond what you might imagine.
Think SQL can't handle complex data structures?
Think again.
SQL isn't just about tables and relationships. It can implement linked lists, binary trees, graphs, and numerous other data structures.
"But SQL is just for storing data!"
Wrong.
SQL can handle complex algorithms and data structures that you'd normally write in Python or Java. Traditional approaches might seem more straightforward. However, implementing these concepts in SQL opens up new possibilities.
