Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

MS Access uses JET SQL, while SQL Server/Azure uses Transact SQL (T-SQL). Other platforms use different “flavors” of SQL however in my experience the basic functionality is pretty much the same general syntax however the advanced concepts may differ significantly depending on the features of the database. For example, Postgres uses PL/pgSQL that layers on a ton of additional functionality that will be foreign to non-Postgres users.
It’s probably better to think of SQL as a small “standard” and the flavors of SQL are a superset of the standard — they include everything in the SQL standard but each have their own specific additions
SQL is a database querying concept. It's important to know the logic on how to query your data, rather than know the syntax. Things like aggregations, joins and window functions (to a great extent) have the same syntax in all SQL flavors. Just have to remember the logic for these, you can always Google for specific syntax then.
And as DS1 mentioned earlier, it is more transferrable than most data viz tools
SQL language is very similar, but there can be minor changes to it based on the platform. For some reason every single one likes to add their on nuances.
It is even more transferable across softwares than PowerBI vs tableau though.
