IME a database does not algorithmically improve anything, but it does make at your disposal some very efficient data structures that are definitely nontrivial to replicate. This is especially the case if you have to work with datasets that don't fit in memory!
An added bonus is that you can use SQL.
- zerkten 4y agoA friend works for a financial company that gets applicants from .NET and Linux backgrounds. He observed that the .NET devs almost always thought about solving these problems with a database and SQL that the Linux people would solve with pipelines of commands. Both were valid in his environment since they were both a big Oracle and SQL Server shop while having high Linux usage as well. I must ask him if PowerShell has changed things at all.
