That's exactly what we're doing and the JTA will filter out 'opinion'
vs. 'wide spread confirmation'. This is also why people should be going,
"but what about this?" and not "we don't need this".
In case people are wondering where this SQL talk came from, the new 'draft
objectives' for LPIC-1 are at:

I agree. I left it at the 'query and manipulate data' level for many reason.
And nothing that isn't SQL standard. If anyone that knows the standard well
(or would like to compare the list to the standard), the specific objective
in question is:
https://group.lpi.org/publicwiki/bin/view/Examdev/LPIC-10x#106_3_SQL_Data_Management
That's also why I left out DBA-ish stuff like GRANT (sorry, Bart) and
table/db manipulation/creation commands like ALTER and CREATE.
