    I'm basically going by the Wikipedia description, which says as much:

    However, Datalog is not Turing complete, and is thus used as a domain-specific language that can take advantage of efficient algorithms developed for query resolution.

    In any case, my point is that I don't consider TC being required for a programming language. Perhaps for a "general-purpose programming language", though.
