I can't do that, since I know nothing about them. All I can judge are
the comments you make here, such as your apparently simplistic view of
SQL and relational databases. For example, joins and views are
efficient and powerful if used correctly with a properly-designed
database, and relieve the application code of a lot of complexity,
reinvented wheels and scope for errors.  Describing such constructs as
merely a complex overhead betrays a lack of understanding and a
reluctance to continue "always learning".
