The reason seemed to be complexity. Read this email thread from 6 years
ago: https://mail.kdab.com/pipermail/kphotoalbum/2012-April/005024.html

Well, I like the idea of an SQL backend... the question is: can we manage
this task. As far as I know we have 3 active committers (all with limited
time). So as already 3 attempts were made an failed, I doubt that another
attempty would succeed.

I really think the time would be investigated better in other parts of
KPA.

Anyways, if somebody feels like beeing brave enough for another try, go
for it.

Just my 2¢,
