Yes, Oracle has PL/SQL which is based on Ada and has SQL like extensions
including facilities to loop on the results of a SELECT as well as all the DDL,
and DML.  It even includes exception handling for database events.  

It is used for programming database triggers (event handling) and for general
purpose database scripts.

I have even written a crude message parser in it.
