I don't like to frustrate the poor databases' telos, it is not at fault for the use humans put its data to.
(Yes, I realise this is silly. It's still an actual weight in the mess I call a morality; just a small one.)
The database is only techne in that context, its own telos lies in maintaining nice tables and properly responding to queries -- things I do not mess with :-)
