The phrase "SQL programmers" is so fucking weird. SQL isn't a programming language. It's a query language. You don't "program" things with SQL. You utilize SQL as a component of programs for data insertion and lookup, but the actual logic of execution is done in a programming language. Unless you're doing Oracle PL/SQL, in which case why are you giving money to Oracle?

Edit: Damn, this comment made people mad.

Most database engines support stored procedures. You don't need to give money to oracle, you can give it to Microsoft instead.

Yes, those work :-) giving money to MS was more of a joke.
