Scoffing and acting exasperated doesn't actually refute anything I said. I obviously don't disagree with you that SQL has been wildly useful and popular, but that has very little to do with my comment. SQL is an outdated and flawed technology, that is propped up by decades of institutionalization. You can say a similar thing about C++: that's it's one of the most popular and useful languages in existence, yet it's also a total trash fire that owes it's lasting success more to historical trends and institutional adoption then technical merit.
