SQL was a solution more than a problem; we were just hoping for a simpler or more elegant solution.
For example, it's possible that logging all data model changes to a text file would have given us the persistence we were looking for without bridging all our data to SQL. Cutting out SQL from our production set-up would have been an inherent win -- one less process to manage, one less black-box source of complexity, etc.
