RDF is nice for Extract Transform Load. The problems start if you want to
change data.    (06)

Suppose you have an App with user registration. If you store the user data
in a triple store, deleting a user with SPARQL becomes difficult. Removing
a single triple is not enough. Storing the user in a named graph may help but
probably creates other problems and definitely makes querying a lot more
complicated.    (08)

What about SPARQL transactions ? Starting a transaction, reading and updating,
commiting the transaction. Is there a triple store that supports this with 
all the fidelity of modern RDB systems ?    (09)

I don't know what that really means. Can I modify data with SPARQL *and* SQL
in your DBMS ? If yes, how does that work ?    (011)
