Relational ≠ SQLRelational ≠ SQLPosted Nov 3, 2010 11:10 UTC (Wed) by epa (subscriber, #39769)In reply to: Relational ≠ SQL by ldo Parent article: A report from OpenSQLCamp
Postgres used to have its own language called Postquel but it was only when it switched to an SQL front-end that it took off. Unfortunately, SQL is the only relational query language the world knows. In its modern, ANSI-standardized form (as supported by Postgres) it's pretty powerful but the syntax is still yuck.

Wouldn't it be possible to provide multiple languages accessing the same DB? So you could have this Postquel (which I have to admit I've never heard of) and SQL accessing the DB simultaneously while maintaining a fully ACID compliant DB.
