- strong data integrity — Yes. SQL databases provide ACID transactions, constraints, foreign keys and schema enforcement that help ensure strong data integrity.

- limitless indexing — No. Indexing has costs and practical limits (write overhead, storage, and query trade-offs).

- works well with distributed data — Not generally. Traditional SQL/RDBMS are not inherently designed for distributed/partitioned data (though some modern distributed SQL systems do address this).

- horizontal scaling — No (not by default). Relational databases typically scale vertically; horizontal scaling (sharding/scale-out) is possible but complex and not an inherent SQL benefit.
