The problem with SQL is not SQL itself, but how it integrates with modern programming languages. It’s the gap that it’s painful. My SELECT query is very elegant, but if it takes tons of custom code or even a library to transform the resulting rows in objects in the PL of choice, well then the elegance is worthless.
