They don't; there are a myriad options. I've got numerous 'normal
users' who use a database to do reasonably sophisticated things. All
you need is a good client; we use DbVisualizer
[ http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/ ]. There are others, you don't
need a programming language at all if all you want is "output data from
database". Many of these, including DbVisualizer include GUI
drag-n-drop query builders.
Yes, you have to learn some SQL, but there is no case where you get
something for nothing; and almost all humans are reliably
quick-studies, even innovative, when they are properly motivated.
