Right, most ORM tools give an escape hatch to execute raw SQL queries. However, even though SQL is turing complete, it's not a great language for retrieval imho. It's probably an artifact of the underlying relational models (and the relational output it has to generate) but still.
- smitty1e 4y agoI was all set to disagree with you, but a bit of googling yields => https://localcoder.org/is-sql-or-even-tsql-turing-complete https://localcoder.org/is-sql-or-even-tsql-turing-complete
- tehlike 4y agoIt could have been wrong, but main argument was whether SQL was a good language for retrieval or not, and for me that's a no. It's probably subjective though :)
