    WHAT? You're crazy, schon, web development is all about databases, and I would guess that at least half of all web development has some sort of SQL backend doing at least some of the work. What web developers are using flat files for data storage on their sites? If it's not static pages, then SQL is bound to be invloved. I think the web community has embraced SQL out of necessity, not backed away from it in favor of some other backend solution.
