Unsupported SQL Fence Language

When this post renders, the sql fence language is passed to the existing code highlighter, but SQL is not registered in the supported language set. The examples can render without the expected syntax highlighting and may emit highlighter warnings on a SQL-focused article.

This needs to be dedicated vs serverless

Serverless database offerings have to be managed by the cloud provider so this piece doesn't make sense

+# Start querying your data with Appwrite Databases
+
+Understanding SQL gives you a mental model that applies to nearly every database you will ever touch: describe the data you want, and let the engine do the work. Whether you write raw queries or use a Query API, the core ideas of filtering, joining, aggregating, and transactions stay the same.
+
+If you want that querying power without managing a database server yourself, [Appwrite Databases](/docs/products/databases) gives you filtering, sorting, and pagination through a clean [Query API](/docs/products/databases/queries), backed by a relational engine and wrapped in permissions and realtime. It is a fast way to put everything in this post into practice.


This needs to be about our native databases, not our shared database APIs.

+    answer: Some serverless databases can have cold starts when compute scales to zero and needs to resume. This can add latency to the first query after an idle period, so it matters for latency-sensitive applications.
+  - question: Is serverless Postgres the same as managed Postgres?
+    answer: No. Serverless Postgres is still managed, but it uses automatic scaling and usage-based billing. Traditional managed Postgres runs as a provisioned, always-on instance with fixed capacity.
+  - question: Is managed Postgres better than a serverless database?
