Do Data Engineers use SQL?

The question is about data engineering

Answer:

Yes, Data Engineers make extensive use of SQL. SQL is one of the basic tools for a Data Engineer through which one can query, manipulate, and take care of data stored in relational databases.

More generally, Data Engineers do SQL, like setting and optimization of database structure, extraction and transformation of data, creation of data pipelines, or efficient storing and retrieving of data. One of the core competencies in the treatment of large volumes of data is their integration from different sources into data warehouses or other kinds of storage.
