    Definitely an interesting editorial, and a question well worth asking...it's choosing the soluion before studying the requirements...

    Absolutely. As a developer who uses SQL Server (as opposed to someone whose career is based on SQL Server) I gain no benefit in promoting SQL Server for something it shouldn't do nor any for not promoting SQL Server for something it should do. Editorial summed it up: it depends.

    Full disclosure: I have chosen both options and have been both right and wrong for each of the scenarios. Sometimes it is difficult to be certain in advance. Particularly with shifting requirements.
