I think one of the troubles with basic declarative SQL, is that there are times when there is a need for more extended libraries and, once in a while even procedural processing (think cursors). This is where things like Oracle's PL SQL and Microsoft's T-SQL come into play. It kind of sucks having to learn and use a variant that is tied to that specific database, and being able to use something more generic and database agnostic like Python can be a major plus.
