It did not say SQL, it said relational. And, a recursive relational
language is probably Turing-Complete.

makes it "better" is another matter. The purpose of relational
languages is not to implement entire systems any more than other
sub-languages such as regular expressions are meant to
write entire applications in total. That is not their job.
