"make sql as fast as possible" is a misnomer.

you cannot make a language fast, only its underlying implementation (i.e the specific dbms).

and this is the error I see 90% of the time. there is a confusion between conceptual (model) vs implementation concerns.

the problem with SQL the language is its conceptual foundations -- that it is not currently relational and yet it is used as the language of "relational" DBMSes in the market.
