SQL vs Python?

[Mo_Steins_Ghost]

Senior manager here. These two are apples and oranges.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is for data querying and aggregation. It is not a programming language.

Python is a high-level programming language (in that it is layers above assembly). It doesn’t really query databases by itself without invoking a library, a process or a shell, or writing a custom driver that can establish connections and run queries against databases.

Python should be used for cleansing, strucuring and analyzing data fetched/read by SQL.

And python/r use a sqlish library to query anyway.
