False. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people using SQL every day to query and analyze their data, that would not be able to write a for-loop or tell you what a pointer is. The same goes for R.
Just because the needs of business analytics have grown to a point where developers are needed to build extremely sophisticated things with SQL, does not mean that simple SQL does not serve its original purpose beautifully.
The same is true for Python. You can do incredibly sophisticated things with Python, but there are many, many scientists and data analysts that use it to do simple things that would not quite fit into a SQL mold, but also don't require a deep knowledge of CS.
