I don't understand where you get such non-sense as implying that I
insist on a non-existent SQL challenge. Using SQL is just one of
possible solutions. Other solutions have failed to materialize but a lot
of handwaving, including yours have been done instead.

The challenge is clearly spelled, it is about providing an interface
behind which the client code can manage a typical many to many
relationship, under the normal constraints most modern software have to
face, including concurrent operation.

More than that I do not understand what you want me to clarify.
