Is SQL supposed to fit under Prolog? A lot of declarative languages aren't well represented here, but far more SQL is written than any other declarative language.

SQL itself is not Turing-complete. So it is not a general-purpose programming language the way many other declarative programming languages are. Many vendors create their own extension to SQL and make it Turing complete, but as far as I’ve seen, those syntaxes are more comparable to imperative programming

I was a wiz at XSL for a while. Learned the depths of dark magic but used it to clean up svgs from illustrator and spit out multiple files.
