Problems with DSLs for non-programmers
> The last time I had a business analyst that wanted to write SQL, he tripped over one join and asked me to do the job.
Anecdotal counterpoint: I've met many an analyst who had some mean SQL skills.

And equally I've met many a career programmer who get confused by non-trivial SQL

Our previous PM was better at SQL than most developers on my team at the time (myself included, which was a big motivation in taking the time to properly learn more advanced SQL last year).

Some people are lazy. Some people are busy, stressed etc. There are many reasons that an analyst might not want to write SQL on a given day.
