I truly have never understood this mentality. To me, SQL is very convenient and quick to work with. It's extraordinarily painless.
I've done data processing in Perl and Python before. THAT is painful. What I think people don't realize is that doing procedural "querying" in a typical PL is, like, 10x the amount of code as an equivalent SQL query. I don't see how the alternative is much better.
SQL just doesn't work like a typical PL, but that's a good thing.
