sql is very prevalent in my position as a banking software support rep. we use sql all the time but it's mostly limited to queries and on-the-fly editing (as in changing a few values as upposed to a proper update -> set command.) as i was exploring moving to this position — having no experience with sql previously — i went through a handful of online sql tutorials including mysql and w3schools. those tutorials gave me an idea of what using sql might be like but nothing stuck until i actually got the position and had to run several queries daily for several months

imo sql isn't too complicated until you get into joins and unions. even complex queries that reference discrete tables aren't that bad. you just need to get the syntax down; the logic is easy
