No. Data format should not be part of a language.

It would be of tremendous value tho if there was a standardized database interface for Fortran.

Doesn't the C interoperability feature do this? Essentially any
set of library routines that can be described in terms of the C
features can be called from Fortran. I think most of the major
databases have a C interface.
