I maybe just do not know how to formulate a search about this, so I'll
ask here,
Has there ever been a database-access language patterned on
scheme/Lisp?
I've been reading Chris Date and Fabian Pascal on the deficiencies and
non-relatinal nature of SQL.

I'm just now learning scheme and it seems to me that with its clean
mathematical underpinning (overarching mathematical orientation?) it
would make an ideal language for truly relational database
access/manipulation.
Never having designed a language I would have NO IDEA what such a
query language would look like.
