It might be Stockholm syndrome but I find SQL to be one of the best DSLs I know. It's only good at querying relational data but it's good at that.

I might have spent too much time in SQL but it one of my favorites.

I always live in the fear of accidentally destroying data or tables with SQL.

Not a rational fear, just an irrational one. A primitive fear of the unknown.

But, to be fair, I have had to work with some of the worst SQL constructs and stored procedures.
