This injunction doesn't really scale across a team.

I've spent weeks of my life tuning SQL, to the point of writing SQL generation libraries to effectively override the database optimizer when it consistently makes poor decisions in specific use cases. But I don't expect the rest of the team to know SQL as well as I do.

When I'm writing or generating SQL, I don't really care much what the naming convention is. If it's consistent, then SQL is easier to write. Consistency is more important than the specifics of any conventions.

I am not talking about the level of a Guru (sample quote "oh Dijkstra was my first boss") - but being able to handle the standard sorts of queries.

maybe we should have a fizbuzz for SQL as a filter :-(

And the standard sorts of queries are best handled via an ORM!
