SQL is at least 30 years older than Git. Git has yet to prove its longevity in the same way.


That statement will be true forever. It doesn’t tell you much.


Let me restate in relative terms then. SQL is over twice as old as Git. When Git was originally released, SQL had been around for longer than Git has been today. Git has had a pretty good track record, but it's not comparable yet in terms of age or even in terms of mass adoption -- plenty of orgs don't use Git to manage their code.
