title: Firebase querying WHERE
body: <p>I'm researching what backend to use for my next project. Firebase is at the forefront right now.</p>
  
  <p>However, when querying with Firebase, it seems you can't do traditional SQL queries, because its a JSON database? Such as WHERE foo... Seems to be limited to EQUALS.</p>
  
  <p>If I wanted to do something like WHERE foo less than or more than, don't tell I have to just grab ALL the data and filter it locally?</p>
  
  <p>Or is it because JSON is much lighter than an SQL database, its far more workable to just fetch big chunks of data paginated and then filter locally?</p>
