SQL: One of the most valuable skills

Graph databases are great for retrieving existing data with associated data.

The power of SQL comes from the fact that you can easily create new information out of the data: create new sets, group by certain features, aggregates on certain features.

It's a lot more powerful than just store and retrieve.

People forget that SQL isn't just Query (DQL), it's also definition (DDL), manipulation (DML), control (DCL), and transaction control (TCL), language [0].

Checkout that platform that a full-blown Oracle license can provide to your DBA... It's definitely more than just CRUD.
