There are many, but most never go further than SQL (ie: Are just a "query" language).
I'm trying to do it for a "general purpose" language where array + relational + functional + imperative can work together:

One of the biggest damage that SQL has caused is that SQL is so bad as being a programming language, is not good enough DSL and is weirdly the only game in town, that many can't imagine that the relational model allows to do programming like every other model, just richer in "intrinsic" operators.
This is the deal with RDBMS. Is like: "Everyone implement a wild flavor of a VM, sometimes JVM, .NET VM, Web Assembly, eBPF, etc, but all use a slight variation of Java for their syntax"
Is like the reverse of how things are done!
