Structure query language SQL

Software & technology · O*NET

Structure query language SQL is a software tool tracked in the Data base user interface and query software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 21 occupations that together employ about 2,148,650 workers, with a median wage of $101,140.

Across the occupations that use it, the work is 69th percentile for AI task-exposure (High) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
