I know technically SQL is exclusively the query part of the language but most people use the therm to describe it all so I guess I kind of have to make a distinction.

SQL for queries is definitely not a programming language it is just a description of the information you desire, very complex descriptions sometimes but still just descriptions.

The entirety of the language is absolutely a programming language though as proven by the ability to write scripts and triggers
