Databases and SQL

Databases are vital to many businesses. Many employees will need to learn how to use a particular database to extract useful data from it. Next semester I will be taking a Database Management class which will teach just that. I think learning SQL would be a vital skill to put on a resume. What to you guys think? It is known to be easier than regular programming, yet very practical in everyday workplace as a skill. What can we do with data? We can analyze the data and interpret it to make management decisions which will affect the company. We can also better serve clients and help them. Even finding the right entry for the client can make all the difference if it can be done easily without having to search all entries, most of which are irrelevant. It is important to quickly find the right kind of information right at the fingertips. Databases really are powerful. Microsoft Access and SQL can be a very important thing to know and master. Lets work advancing ourselves in that area.
