One thing I have experienced is that often times developers are coming from a world of object oriented programming, or just coming from a JavaScript world. Then often the storage and retrieval of data is an after thought during the development of an application. This is definitely true for CRUD apps. Then maybe the person used a framework to handle database interactions and now after a year or so, it’s not scaling well because the data access was not really given priority during development. So then the problem is the database engine or the syntax instead of proper design and planning. That’s not to say there are no drawbacks to writing most dialects of SQL. I just believe most of the hate over SQL is coming from a procedural mindset to a relational one.
