Disclaimer: I don't know much about the graphics stuff. Judging only by my experience in the other areas (which include CAD/CAE and GPGPU as the closest things to graphics), every time I needed to do something relational in nature, it was only dynamic data, never a relational storage. So I used quite a lot of Datalog. Never needed anything like SQL.
