As an enterprisey RDBMS guy (OLAP/OLTP) who learned about ECS for the first time in context of hacking on an RTS game, what this guy is saying is music to my ears. Yes, everything is and should be a database, and if you think your application is not really a database, this just reveals your ignorance about databases.

Just because all you know is MySQL does not mean that RDBMSes that can natively handle trees do not exist.

No.

@JohnSmith-op7ls It makes sense if you are intelligent enough to understand that the word "is" refers to the logical view of the world while "should be" refers to the actual implementation. And when it comes to RDBMSes unless your application can somehow benefit from very specialized data access algorithms (at the cost of using very specialized data structures that go along with them), chances are that not choosing RDBMS will mean you will regret it later on. The power of RDMBS is that you can easily slice and dice data in many ways that were not even imagined at the time when the database was set up, which cannot be said about many other approaches to building databases.
