I'm amazed you think that instead of using an LLM that someone will go buy a book and spend a week learning something that, judging by the fact that they last used it 30 years ago, likely won't be relevant for them soon.

It's not only that I rarely use it, it's also that it's ugly. It's Relational Cobol. It's as loveable as Oracle. The vendor specific dialects don't even agree on how to do recursive queries do they?

Unfortunately I am very good at forgetting things I resented having to learn, and SQL is definitively one of them.
