How important is it now for a novice web developer to understand SQL thoroughly?

Question

PHP

I just learned about such a thing as ORM, and if it allows me not to learn SQL completely at the initial stages, then I will save a lot of time

Answer 1

What is there to learn? O_O if you know English, there are only 4 commonly used commands. CRUD, which are learned in a couple of hours or even in the process of writing. A novice weber will not write a trigger, and through the ORM you do all the same CRUD operations. You don't have to write pure SQL - it's not safe, and secondly, they won't trust you. But knowing the commands and what options you have is a must!
Otherwise, there will be a situation, as with a colleague who started with the PHP framework and when the situation required pure knowledge in PHP, he could not. Do you need this boil?

Answer 2

Read the history of SQL
It was originally created for NOT FOR PROGRAMMERS.
It's hard to write perfect, fast-running queries.
And just at the ordinary level, not a programmer is able to know SQL, but a manager, SQL was created for them
