Why do some choose SQL databases?

SQL databases are chosen for several reasons:

• Strict data structure: SQL DBMSs use schemas with tables and relationships, ensuring data integrity and predictability.
• Powerful query language: SQL allows for complex queries, joins, aggregations, and transactions.
• Transactional support: guarantees atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID), which is important for critical applications.
• Wide support and maturity: many tools, drivers, and experienced specialists.
• Support for complex relationships: convenient for systems with many interrelated data.

For example, in banking systems or ERP systems, where data reliability and consistency are crucial, SQL databases are often preferred.
