I can see where Blockchain would be just another database but from my read of it, it's a lot more than a simple SQL.
For one thing there is the verification or validation of the data written. The data is simply not just written as a typical database entry but checked for accuracy.
There would also be the security feature of it as well. While I wouldn't have the numbers of people accessing the data as a bank or corporation has, but where someone else has access to the data, blockchain structure pretty much ensures the data will not be corrupted without breaking the chain.
One of the negative things about blockchain that I have been reading about is that it's slow. It comes with a lot of overhead coding a simply SQL wouldn't have.
