Sure. Why would anybody use SQL within any decent programming language? 
SQL makes some sense only with an external DBMS. For an internal DBMS 
there are much more efficient interfaces than ugly SQL. Provided the 
DBMS is relational, because depending on the task there are more 
efficient non-relational DBMS and persistence layers.

In any case there is no need to have SQL in the language. Ada perfectly 
manages SQL RDBMS over bindings to ODBC or specific DB client bindings.

I maintain Ada ODBC bindings for external SQL DBMS:

For integrated file-based DBMS: SQLite bindings:

For pure Ada file-based persistence:

A comparison Ada I/O vs. SQLite persistence:

Ada is as fast you can make it.
