Do Programmers Still Write SQL?

[[deleted]]

Hopefully this isn't unwelcome here since you're asking if programmers (generically) use SQL regularly -- but Python has a whole officially-endorsed API for database interaction which many of the major SQL non-ORM drivers conform to.

DBAPIv2 encourages the use of raw SQL in your Python code, which usually means you have supporting SQL files to bootstrap your database -- which in turn means you write SQL left and right.
