1,000%. I learned discrete/set math in college and then later SQL on the job. Helping a few analysts moving beyond Excel skills to learn SQL was interesting. They struggled with some things that clicked quickly for me because I immediately had "oh, these are set operators" intuition. Stuff like when to use an outer join vs a cross join, or how to control cardinality of output rows in fancy ways (vs slapping `DISTINCT ON` on everything).

I passed on the set understanding where it explained an unintuitive SQL behavior and I hope it helped 'em.
