Traditional Databases vs Solana Accounts

Today on my learning journey i learnt about the difference between a solana account and the traditional database.

Key Difference
Accounts do not query each other.

There is no JOIN
No server-side filtering
Programs receive accounts as inputs to instructions
If you want to "query" data:

You do it off-chain via RPC
Then assemble the results yourself
