@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Several reasons:
- It’s another language to learn (SQL)
- It adds another dependency to your system
- It’s another failure mode (database blows up, scheme changes, indexs, etc)
- It increases security problems (now you have to worry about being SQL-safe)
And most of all, in my experience, it doesn’t actually solve any problems that a good key/value store can solve with good indexes and good data structures. I’m just no longer a fan, I used to use MySQL, SQLite, etc back in the day, these days, nope I wouldn’t even go anywhere near a database (for my own projects) if I can help it – It’s just another thing that can fail, another operational overhead.
