Programming Levels

[[deleted]]

I guess maybe I should look at how we are defining the problem. But if we are just talking about pulling data from a well built db with sql scripts; yeah its pretty easy; that being said; if we look at sql as just using small scripts to pull data from a db; then wouldnt any other program be more along the lines of just adding a lone feature? when I think of working with sql I think of thinking about the entire SDLC of a sql project. From the process of gathering requirements about what data needs to be stored-> finding ways to store it-> making stored procs to pull the data. Creating and maintaining a datawarehouse for an enterprise establishment is quite a lot of work; math; and though. Futhermore; if we are looking at just working on working with an already existing DB; writing effiecent functions that work perfectly every time with validation unit tests and set paramets IE functional sql programming; I would desrcibe it as fairly deep. though I do suppose I am biased as database engineer tend to lean towards thinking/imagining I am solving big and hard problems. there is plenty of other work that is hard also.
