Embracing SQL is all about "delegating".

IMO, this is similar in concept to OO programming, where you rely more on
others' objects, and have to let go of some of the details.

That's... an interesting opinion to have.

And you're certainly entitled to your opinions. But... the folks who
build the objects... do you not think of them as object-oriented
programmers?

Do you think of the object-builders as a different kind of programmer
than the object-users?

How about the folks who write ILE modules, programs, or service
programs which are then used by RPG programmers? There's delegation
going on there too, but RPG is certainly not very object-oriented, and
if you ask folks who use languages which are more widely recognized as
object-oriented, they would call neither the service-program writers
nor the service-program consumers "object-oriented programmers".

And by the way, I don't think likening SQL to OOP is a great way to
entice Jon. He's been known to have his differences with OOP as well.
