Anybody else find databases uninteresting?

I’m currently learning it in school and I’m understanding the premise of it but unlike my coding classes where I have so much interest and excitement. It’s a DRAG to learn about SQL/databases, it’s not that it’s hard, just boring at times. I’m honestly just ranting but I’m still thinking about being a backend dev, which I know databases are important but APIs interest me more. Is understanding the gist/basics of databases enough to get me going or I really need to have an even DEEPER understanding of SQL later in life? I love this language and programming in general so I don’t know why this section is a drag to me. Thank you all for listening lol.
