Good DBMSs don't exist and there are not available implementations of
relational languages, but you can use any SQL dialect.

SQL dialects are messy pseudo relational languages. They are bad
languages, but they are a lot better way to transact with a DBMS than
a set of stored procedures.

It is a blunder to hide the database tables to the applications.
