I've always been irked by how SQLite relies on text parsing to work. Why is it that I have to write queries in text rather than expressing them in programmatic logic? I have never used a relational database because of this, because I hate them, but they can be more performant than pure structured data, but I hate SQL and the entire idea of SQL and I don't want to write it or learn it or use a system that relies on it. It feels like the wrong approach, on the level of PHP. Is there anything I can do to help this? I don't want to keep passing up SQLite just because of SQL, but I just can't seem to agree with it. I don't want to build strings or have string parsing anywhere in the stack, it just feels wrong.
