I think "option to" is not wrong (maybe less common). I've seen this
in other texts and took it as "the X option [that applies] to Y".

That's a suspended hyphen and is common usage.

"Has been" means that something happened just now. This is perfectly
fine when talking about checkpoints IMO.

Depends on how you pronounce SQL (ess-cue-el or sequel). "An SQL"
is more common in the docs whereas "a SQL" is more common in code
comments.
