What is the point of SQL?
Discussion

Is it really a #Nostr app if it uses a DB?
You realise there is no point
did you wake up and chose violence?
what is the point of anything?
making people retarded so they don't understand how computers organise data
Storage used to be expensive
I routinely end up with multi-GB csv's when grabbing a slice of data at work. Excel can handle the first million lines well enough before needing to fire up the data model and power pivot, but even then, SQL is definitely the better tool for the job.

It is simple enough that even money like me can learn it and use it.
Monkey not money. Stupid spell check
Batch work

Well the original was such a success that the producers wanted to milk it by making a SQL. Obvi
Initially it was separation of data and code.
