That sounds surprising modern. That's good! Or at least I would think it is good. So many things run on mainframes still.
51 year old SQL sounding surprisingly modern for government tracks.
Haha, TIL that SQL is 51 years old. IBM mainframes were still all the rage in the 70s. My assumption is that government would have not been an early adopter, but I could obviously be wrong.
