    • It can (often) support advanced query capabilities such as aggregations, joins, and subqueries, tailored to the specific needs of the domain.
    • It can (sometimes) offer optimization features that automatically translate high-level queries into efficient low-level operations, specific to the underlying data storage or processing system.
