Erik may know SQL but there’s an entire generation of developers who don’t.

These developers find it easier to dip into shallow DSLs instead of learning the depths of SQL.

If they can be developers, they can learn SQL. Apart from DDL statements, it's literally 3 DML statements, of which most of the clauses operate exactly the same way across all 3 statements.

Sorry, that should be 4 DML statements...
