*SQL IS DEAD!!* Uber just unveiled QueryGPT, an AI tool that translates natural language into SQL queries. ASK QueryGPT "How many trips were completed by Teslas in Seattle yesterday?" and getting the exact SQL query in seconds no manual coding required. *Is this the end of SQL?* For years, SQL has been a core skill for data professionals. But with AI tools like QueryGPT automating complex queries, the game is changing. So, is learning SQL still worth it? Or will AI make writing queries obsolete? Here's my take: 1/ 𝗦𝗤𝗟 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴. AI tools can speed up query writing, but understanding data structures, optimization, and debugging still require human expertise. 2/ 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼-𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Just like calculators didn’t kill math, AI won’t kill SQL but it will redefine how we interact with data. 3/ 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜-𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗤𝗟 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀. Instead of memorizing syntax, the real skill will be knowing how to prompt AI effectively and validate results.
