Unfortunately this is sometimes powerful.


I'm not opposed to DBAL but I'm just realistic about implications. 
If I want to have DBAL its for the sake of others, not myself.
I don't care much for object persistence. Not my style of coding, seems to add lots of overhead. I'm more down-to-earth for that. I never liked it.
And using MySQL exotic features; The most advanced SQL I have had to write was joins and usage of AVG, SUM and COUNT in queries - and subselects which we unfortunately don't have. But the point: Even if MySQL would forever be the TYPO3 database, I'm not in support of MySQL specific SQL on a deeper level if it can be solved in a more general way; because why make it harder to do DBAL in the future it one should decide to?
