I think the bigger problem is that SQL is in almost every language a second-class citizen. And even calling it second-class can be seen as a stretch.

I’m a SQL-lover and ORM-hater but I don’t see why any language would support another wholly different language as a first-class citizen.

Ideally, SQL wouldn’t be a wholly different language, but a library with bindings for various languages.

Time to start using plsql, ADA with first class support for embedded SQL.

That's why it's called SQL aka String Query Language. The queries are just strings.

Are you being cheeky? The S stands for Structured.
