To be fair, one needs to add "typical" to "SQL", 
i.e., without user defined types, without table constraints and so forth.
With proper relational stuff in place,
Ada has no way of being just as expressive 
at the level of set specifiers, not without implementing half of Prolog.

But, special Algorithms can trade generality for speed when one needs it.
