- Hi Babken. Nice to have the opportunity to speak with you. To start, please tell our readers what is the primary usage of SQL, its importance, and your main tasks as an SQL developer at CodeRiders Software Development House?

- Thanks for the interview invite. SQL (Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific programming language and works with databases. Despite the type of software you use – whether it is e-commerce, multimedia, financial, real estate, HR, e-learning, or HealthTech - you need to use, store and manage data, and that is where SQL comes to help. It is like the communicator of databases and the standard language for relational database management systems. We use SQL statements to update data on a database or retrieve data from a database. It is of critical importance as SQL is everywhere. Almost all of the huge enterprises use SQL, such as Netflix, Uber, Instagram, Airbnb, Quora, Twitter.  Due to its huge impact on database systems, it is here to stay for sure and is constantly included in the charts of top programming languages for now and for the future.

- Thanks for the in-detail information. Now, will you please speak about the advantages and disadvantages of SQL?

- SQL is a user-friendly and domain-specific language. You use SQL to access, manipulate, and communicate with databases. The most important SQL functions include:

• Retrieve of data from the database
• Creation of new databases
• Manipulation of data and databases (insertion, deletion, update)
• Data testing

SQL has a number of advantages that make my everyday work with this language fast, convenient, and more practical. You can check our blog to read my full article there.
