I think you use "low level" in a different sense than is common. Low level (and high level) typically refer to abstraction level. SQL certainly have a very high abstraction level. But given it is a domain specific language it doesn't have much support for functionality outside of its intended domain (except through non-standard extensions). But a kitchen-sink language is not automatically higher level than a highly focused DSL - typically it is the other way around.
