How friendly is the SQL spec? Access puts a reasonably friendly face on it, 
or you can left outer join to your heart's content by hand using a command 
line interface.

SQL is certainly powerful and complex -- and both easy and difficult to use 
well.

Schema is likely to be the same (and the analogy toward database-land isn't 
by accident, of course)
