You’re confusing SQL with the relational model. Datalog and Quel and Tutorial D and other database languages and systems can and did provide those features also.

By analogy: Arabic and Roman numerals both describe the natural

a little time doing algebra with Roman numerals should convince
anyone, however, that how you express a concept matters a lot.
