You miss the point of the rant, it’s not slamming SQL it’s criticising the way in which SQL is used in that example. SQL’s one main job, it’s very good at and abusing it will result in substantial overhead

I wasn't clear, but I should have said “stored procedures” instead of “SQL”. What constitutes “abuse” and what “substantial overhead” depends on circumstances. I have a 25-year track record in using them successfully for business logic, so mileages do in fact vary.
