if you don’t believe that adding more structure to the absolute maniacal catastrophe that is sql is a good thing then i’m going to start to have doubts about your authenticity as a human being
If you think this is more structured than traditional SQL, I really disagree. Is this a select * query, it’s ambiguous. Also what table is being queried here there’s no from or other table identifier.
it was written to be a language that anybody could read or write as well as english, which just like every other time that’s been tried, results in a language that’s exactly as anal about grammar as C or Python except now it’s impossible to remember what that structure is because adding anything to the language to make that easier is forbidden
when you write a language where its designers were so keen for it to remain human readable that they made deleting all rows in a table the default action, i don’t think “well structured” can be used to describe it
SQL is incredibly structured. It’s also a very good language, and developers need to stop piling on junk on top of it and producing terrible queries. Learn the damn language. It’s not that hard

Huh? Sql is one of the most powerful, action packed (as in you can move lots of shit with few commands) languages out there.
It’s transferable and ubiquitous.
powerful isn’t the same as well-structured

Disagree, the difference between “week structured” and needing to know the rules of the verbs is pretty big, to me.
but sql doesn’t need to be structured that’s what abstraction layers and models are for
SQL is literally structured query language
