yes yes yes! the point is NOT "learn sql" you already know sql, FINE! the point is: use sql, not orms! migrations are best done in pure sql, i'll contend that model-inflation is best done in pure sql also. another thing: if the format is json, that's already a nested "joined" blob of usable data! it's what the end result of a sql join would achieve, the client often just has to drill into that data blob and everything needed for the entity in question is already there!
