SQL/GraphQL are query languages. Good for that, but not for fully develop an app.

FoxPro have his own language that allow mix SQL and imperative constructs:

This mean:

* You code login in foxpro

* And the stored procedures

* And the forms

* And the reports

* And the script glues

* ....

"Just" adding SQL/GraphQL to a RDBMS is absolutely not enough. Both are too limited.

For example:

- Can you build a btree with SQL? No

- Work with the terminal? No

- Make a visual grid? No

- etc

Only query and maybe crud.
