This is absolutely wrong. A simple key/value table in SQL is perfectly
fine. Why would anyone assert otherwise? The fact that you *can* use it as
a relation is beside the point.
As an aside...
I don't mean key/value data. I mean N-dimensional data where N > 2.
Medical records are (can be) a relatively simple example of
3-dimensional data: they cover patient information over time. Sparse
array databases were developed specifically because these kinds of data
don't fit into tables.
My assertion stands: trying to shoe-horn non-relational data into a
relational database is foolish.
