Neural Networks in SQL: A Proof of Concept
A developer implemented a neural network entirely in SQL by adding autograd to the DataFusion query engine. The work builds on Xarray-SQL, which maps n-dimensional arrays to relational tables. The approach suggests SQL could serve as a distributed training framework for large-scale AI workloads.

The idea is clever but far from production-ready; the real test is whether relational databases can match GPU-native frameworks on performance at scale.
