SQL definitely solves a lot of performance issues for typical users who think they can do better

but throwing strings over the wire, trying to get as much as possible without crossing cardinalities and ignoring the n query problem makes SQL at scale disastrous

Devs always get one of these things wrong and not being able to use my programming language in the query makes some things hard to express

Datalog and Datomic are definitely worth learning https://youtu.be/Pz_NvY1kw6I

could you clarify what throwing strings over the wire and crossing cardinalities means in this context?
