I've spent the last decade working with Oracle and SQL Server in large enterprise environments, so you're telling me things I already know. Basic DML and DDL are the same, which makes it far more portable as base knowledge than other suggestions like learn C and then Python.

To me the fact that you can mix procedural languages in gives you far more options down the line (even MS lets you mix in C# and now R). The variation here is whatever.

You can call me brain damaged for wanting developers to learn SQL, but I've spent a lot of time fixing the very expensive mistakes of developers who didn't. Many applications use relational databases. The sooner you get used to thinking in sets and avoiding querying anti-patterns the better. Or just keep paying my consulting fees. Whatever.
