SQL is great for when you need relationality, but if there's anything we've learned from the advent of the NoSQL movement it's that there are a nearly infinite variety of ways to store data, so we no longer need to think in terms of one-size-fits-all solutions.
For example, in LiveCode small data sets can be handled with unusual grace and easy as simple property sets in stack files.
