- fbdab103 4y agoI am a simple man, and I do not think of SQL in terms of relational algebra. I was inelegantly attempting to cutoff the SQL proponents who will say that SQL is fine because relational algebra is such a beautiful model. Yes, SQL can do everything. That being said, I wish the syntax were significantly cleaner and composable.
- contravariant 4y agoPersonally I consider SQL being more than relational algebra to be the problem.
