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.
