Overview
The increasing reliance of organizations on data and information has led to a rising demand for SQL developers in the data industry. Structured Query Language is one of the most commonly used database programming languages developed for database management and related functions. Top relational databases that are in use today, like Oracle and MySQL, are programmed using this language, which is why it becomes crucial for recruiters to hire developers who are adept at writing programs, functions, and queries that can manipulate data and database structures using SQL and who are also able to write custom queries to generate tailored reports.
