Thank you Craig, I'm convinced. Anyone know where best to begin learning SQL?

With enough bias, you can say the same about anything :)

Products in production environments aren't relying on Bash that much anymore. Nowhere near how they depend on SQL databases.

#6Having a solid working toolkit of SQL knowledge really will make you seem very useful on a team.
I do say "seem" though, in that if you weren't around it's not like the team would fail without you. It's not hard to learn SQL or Google around for a little bit to figure out what you're trying to accomplish.
Sort of like that one guy on your team who's a wizard at regular expressions. He seems like a life saver in the moment, but you'd be able to figure it out without him, too.

I've never worked on a product of any kind where I didn't have to have solid command line knowledge to truly trouble shoot an issue.
Especially in production, and especially if you don't necessarily have perfect control over the environments you're deploying to.

There are a lot of great free resources out there, but I had recently shared https://sqlbolt.com with a friend that wanted to learn SQL and she found it useful.
