I think you've misunderstood Brukardt's position. He said it's easy to convert
data, not stored in CSV files, to CSV format, whether said data are stored in a
DBMS or not. He never proposed using CSV files as the primary storage format.

Whether selecting desired data from a large data set is easier or faster with a
DBMS or some form of Ada persistent containers is a more interesting question.
