Ask HN: Do we need query languages like SQL, GraphQL, etc. anymore?

Especially since UI is being slowly replaced by chat based AI.

Yes. Data is important and we still need a way to go and fetch it. Schemas are complicated, and we still need to navigate them. In my experience, the LLMs of today are <i>not at all</i> good at writing complex queries.<p>SQL has been around for decades. I imagine it&#x27;s going to be around for decades more.

The power of SQL is that it is structured, based on mathematic definitions. Once written and tested, the surface of possible bug or wrong result is very limited. LLMs are based on language interpretation and do not have this precision

only as much as we need to understand what we are doing.
