not to put too fine a point of it, but there's a world of difference between creating a ledger that creates a "distributed" SQL database whose integrity is guaranteed among non-trusted nodes through a blockchain, and using smart contracts to "put a functioning SQL database on the blockchain." "get used to blockchain when all you know is SQL" - cool. "guarantee all us non-trusted nodes have the same SQL database" - ...sure, but for any project such that i want this, i'm pretty sure i don't need a blockchain. (but of course, your project doubtless has uses i haven't thought of) "i want a trustless SQL database so i'm going to use EVM and solidity and put it on The Blockchain because i'm awesome" - very bad. "i'm starting a new project, so naturally i need to use a blockchain" - extremely bad.
