SQL does an entirely different thing than other languages though, in what sense do you mean “core”?
It’s strongly typed and structured and for people new to programming it helps enable the change in mindset.
It’s strongly typed, which is why if you want to store a list or object in a column, you have to encode it as JSON???
Interesting theory
In addition, or maybe this is also what typing and structure means, organizing data to eliminate duplicated or derived info and determining the keys or indexes needed to access it and the rules governing access and update: that’s half your app specification right there and how well you do it makes a big difference to the speed and flexibility of implementing the other half.
