Would you write an order entry system in SQL?

SQL? Only if filtered result sets are called for. Otherwise, RLA is best for
transaction processing.

The question is kind of twisted because you don't write systems in SQL. You
use SQL for database I/O. I wouldn't even consider the "L" in SQL to be a
language.
