Math is a tool for most sciences and technologies, including IT.
Actual SQL practice, in my understanding, belongs to part of software engineering. It is more an art than a science. Experience plays a critical role in such practice.
IT practitioners are not mathematicians, and they needn't to be a mathematician before doing their jobs. I personally am more interested in doing research job, but this doesn't mean researches are more important than industry practices.
Many Chinese people put more attention on theories than practical skills. This is not right. I believe that a theory is nearly useless in industry if it can't be implemented with reasonable amount of time and money.
I ever played DB2 on AS/400, correct me if I remember it wrongly.
