Is the same as "C++" and "OOP".

An "SQL database" is an implementation of a "partial" and inconsistent version of the relational model.

So is not wrong, IMHO, to say "SQL databases" to be "Relational Databases" (nitpicking as "Relational-inspired").

Is not that the relational model as first envisioned is perfect. Is ok to implement "partially" and also "extend" the vision it provides.

What is flipping is that what `SQL` does is "inconsistent". That is the major sin.
