No not at all.

It's been around for 50 years and the pendulum swings every couple of years.

Your questions sounds like your trying to use SQL in a non standard way, ie through Python or something, maybe check out some of the other articles here through the SQL tab

Hmm... Even if I use web server, or serverless, if it mostly likely comes from SQL drivers, that is the interface, anyway; not the SQL language itself.

I’m sorry why do you keep talking about SQL drivers? What are you connecting with a driver?
