According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.

So you're saying Relational DataBase Management Systems do really well as soon as Relations are involved?

And Structured Query Language is a handy language for querying structured data?

What’s funny is that Relational Databases in fact sucks when somewhat complex Relations are involved. Moment you step out the of the realm of Tabular data you’ll have very miserable time. Like good luck modeling and querying simple nested product catalog.

Graph databases are better choice for truly relational data
