Hi all
I would like to specialise in the SQL language itself.
My idea is to use this knowhow as an SQL programmer
on all SQL servers.

Is this practical idea to be an SQL programmer?
Am I waisting my time with this idea ?

Thanks in advance
EC

Not necessarily, but there aren't too many jobs for just a SQL
programmer. SQL is a data retrieval language, not a programming
language per say. As such, it is generally embedded in other languages,
and you need to know those other languages.

There are jobs for database administrators, though, who have a thorough
working knowledge of SQL. These guys are the ones who design the
databases, build triggers and stored procedures, optimize the database
system performance and such.
