- jampekka 2y agoRelational model is good, SQL is not. They are not the same thing.
- sgarland 2y agoShort of academic languages like D, nothing faithfully implements the relational model. Some compromises are necessary to make it useful for practical applications, hence SQL.
- eru 2y agoHave you looked at Datalog recently? SQL has other warts, apart from not being completely relational.
