...
   This reminds
me of folks I used to run into back in the day that
 considered themselves "programmers" -- in dbase!  or RPG,
 or SQL 
Hey!  I don't know RPG or dbase, but I have learnt a bit of SQL, and I
don't think it's unfair to think, or speak, of working with SQL as
programming.  It's a rather unusual language, mostly declarative rather
than imperative, and somewhat specialized, but it certainly demands
many of the same skills and mindsets as programming in more
conventional languages, and it's not all _that_ outr? a language.
