Yes, they are on the same localhost.

This is normal case for e..g
    (PHP + DB SERVER)   == both on same localhost

Just SQL looks more simple in many cases.

    WHERE f1 = x and f2 = y

And you get cursor and record locks if needed.

And the whole SQL ENGINE behind of this do job ...
SQL engine at last of end touch that API ...

But depends also on developer habbits ...

In API it is hard todo  self  join, group by ...
On the other hand not each  task requirs joins when you work with related
tables, and navigation between related records can be more effective...

Tradeoffs everywhere... You need understand that to make right choice ...
