I was amazed to find out last year that both my mom and dad both have a solid understanding of SQL queries - one is a nurse and the other is an insurance adjuster.

How/why did they learn that? On their own? Or do Hospital and Insurance enterprise systems allow them to run raw SQL on their DBs?

There's no good reason not to, since if your security and auditing systems are correctly implemented, limited-permission DB users doing direct SQL have the same security and accountability as someone using a specialized app.

Probably they have access to a reporting system that allows safe SQL reports.
