It's also great that much of the time if I come up with a crappy query... SQL knows how to optimize it for me. Easy to use, and fixes my stupids.

That's nothing to do with SQL, that's the database engine you're using (lexing, parsing, then) planning & optimising your query as best it can.

Much like C code say, it's not a feature of C the language that gcc, for example, can optimise your crappy code for whatever target platform.
