I reacted to this title the way I react a new menu item at Taco Bell: a strange mixture of desire, shame, and admiration for human ingenuity.

I work a lot with databases and I've seen... stuff. It's not as bad as you might think if you know what you are doing. Most RDBMSs support recursive CTEs, it feels like writing Prolog with a slightly sadistic syntax. For something like AoC the most difficult part is probably parsing the input.
