> Data is generally far more valuable than application code and often times your database will far outlive your application code (and sometimes even your choice of programming language). I agree with this. At my current company, we have stored procedures that are over 30 years old still running. The original application code was VB6, then VB.NET, and now there are C# NET5 services. There’s also all kinds of other document stores, but that old SQL DB isn’t going away any time soon.
