In that case, it’s unclear to me how much we really get from SQL comparing
to LISt Processing we already have.
If we really benefit from a relational/logical programming language, 
I’d also strongly recommend Prolog over SQL.
Prolog blends better with Lisp (homoiconicity), is strictly more 
expressive (relational calculus is equivalent to a very restricted
subset of Prolog, with no negation, cut, function symbol, and recursion),
and is easily embedded into Lisp.


Best,
