I agree with all of this, except are you really implementing bayesian models in SQL? I'm not sure that is what the author is advocating in the first place. There are tools for bayesian everything, I much prefer using those over hacking together some illegible SQL script.

No, it’s just SQL statements pulling data into the if...then in your preferred language. I’ve never done actual logic with SQL, not even sure if it’s possible.

Each DB engine has it's own incompatible imperative stored procedure language.

Having worked with Oracle's version, and seen entire systems buult out of that, I dread it.
