Why should you struggle with SQL?

Image description

My disposition maybe wrong pardon me. or maybe because I know it. I don't know why people spend several hours trying to learn SQL.

It is so straight forward such that the English lang is always the use case.

1- You need a folder πŸ“ what do you do? You Create One (folder in this context is DB).
2- You need a file arrangements inside your folder πŸ—ƒοΈ πŸ—„οΈ , what do you do? You name those files and arrange them accordingly(Files in this context is table).
3- You need your employees name to appear in the files, what do you do? you "INSERT" their names respectively.

4- You want just an employee's detail to appear. What do you do? you "SELECT" from the corresponding file/table.

4- You misspelled one of the employees name in the file/table, what do you do? You "UPDATE" the corresponding file number with the appropriate employee name.

5- You no longer want an employee's name to appear in the file πŸ—ƒοΈ and Folder πŸ“. What do you do? You "DELETE/tipex" the name in the corresponding file.

6- You no longer want a File πŸ—ƒοΈ in you folder πŸ“‚. what do you do? you "DROP" the file off the folder πŸ“‚.

7- You no longer want the entire folder πŸ“‚ and file πŸ—ƒοΈ, what do you do? You "TRUNCATE" all.

Example of Commands:

Insert into File/table set = "employee name" where ID = 0000

Update * file/table set = " New name" where ID = 0000

Delete * from file/table where ID = 0000

Select * from file/table where ID = 0000

SQL is the simplest lang to struggle with just like HTML and CSS.
