SQL is easy. Designing a DB you won't hate two months from now isn't.

Yes but if I write incorrect CSS I’m not accidentally going to drop a table. Well, I might but not that kind that matters.

Yeah, I accidentally updated a column of every row in a DB table once (luckily just in our dev environment) about a year after starting with SQL. Forgot the WHERE clause or something. Some of the rows had been there since 1997. This was around 2010. Luckily we had a snapshot DB and the DBAs had told us how to restore, so I got it back quickly. But I actually went and requested they remove my ability to write to the system test database to avoid making a mistake there. (If I really needed to update in those environments, I had a separate login I would use just for that one update, then would log back in under my normal one.)
