No, I just refuse to believe self-serving claims put forth
without supporting evidence.

The OP claimed that programming in SQL is error prone.
What borders are involved there? As for interfacing,
when processing the results of a query the underlying
interface makes available the name and data type of each
result as well as its value. Since this is ultimately a
network protocol, what else can be expected? Any further
desired type safety must be done by the receiving program.
