But no! I gain EVERYTHING by using an SQL database. Putting data into any particular format is easy, flexibly querying it is harder. This is an excerpt from a generic tool to generate graphs and html and latex reports of the benchmark and interoperability test results for our toolkits, and learning SQL has allowed me to not have to invent my own data querying language.
