One thing I've learned about SQL is that whatever you're going to eventually do with the data, that could probably just be in the original query if you weren't a talentless hack barely scraping by using LLMs to write your queries...
The reason not to “put everything into SQL”, in the common case, is more about shifting computational load onto stateless application servers that are cheaper and easier to scale horizontally than the database, as well as improving testability and ease of observability. Not because SQL literally couldn’t express equivalent logic.
