]]> Comment on Are DB layers like Zend_Db making people forget SQL? by Joe Devon http://codeutopia.net/blog/2007/12/06/are-db-layers-like-zend_db-making-people-forget-sql/#comment-38574 Joe Devon Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:19:29 +0000 http://codeutopia.net/blog/2007/12/06/are-db-layers-like-zend_db-making-people-forget-sql/#comment-38574 Excellent post. I've been trying to understand what the benefit of not using SQL was. People keep telling me it's better. It's easier. But I find it harder and not better. Maybe people just don't want to learn SQL? Or maybe I just haven't been given an example where it's an improvement. Most examples just look to me like you change SQL syntax for some other syntax that adds a layer of potentially misunderstanding to what you're doing to the database. Excellent post.
