I can't agree more with this. As with anything we use in our applications, understanding and leveraging the strengths of our different tools is vitally important. If, for example, I needed a cartesian product of two datasets, SQL is the first thing that comes to mind due to how simple it is to write and the speed with which it will be processed in the database. On the flip side, I would never want to intermix frontend code in SQL, which crazy as that sounds, I have seen before. Everything has its place in a logical development flow.
