I guess someone already asked the question, but I will also do it anyway
Is it possible to emit SQL statements to data already imported into LAE?
Sometimes brainscript just isn't enough to achieve what you would like to do(or takes a whole lot working around).

The temporary files used between nodes are flat text files.
There is no "database engine" to which you could issue SQL commands.

The question becomes .. what specifically do you wish to accomplish?

When comparing LAE to SQL, the LAE Join and Agg nodes are significantly more capable than SQL.
If you treat BrainScript as a procedural language, you will find a good bit of power hidden there.

Thank you for answering Stony.
So far I always been able to transfer SQL into brainscript, this was more of a general question.
