It _is_ quite different from Python, but learning it will familiarise you with some concepts that will be very useful if you want to use your Python skillz in a data-driven application. It's true that you can use Python modules to interface with databases, and maybe never write more than a line or two of real SQL - but those modules are a lot easier to understand if you know what they're doing under the hood. -- www.fsrtechnologies.com
