> does SQL really have a strong learning curve

Depends. It's easy if all you want to do is select * from whatever;

When you get into subqueries and a whole ton of joins to get the information you need, it can get pretty complicated.

I mean, we have a full university course which was 80% SQL, spanning 6 months.

TL;DR the language is not complicated. Actually using it, can be.
