Darwen and Date make a fairly comprehensive set of arguments to that
end...

Basically, it's that SQL has plenty of places where it is either
non-relational or anti-relational.

The "Third Manifesto" suggests an alternative; they start a
description of something called "Tutorial D," a more comprehensively
relational language than SQL.  It's there for "tutorial" purposes;
people are looking at more "industrialized" notions, terming it
"Industrial D."
