The thing about SQL is that that is the language your database server understands. It is possible but extremely unlikely for DB servers to understand more than one language. However, if you found one that did understand more than one language, it is a toss of a coin whether that second languyage would be Pascal or Basic or FORTRAN or Perl or ..... But, in fact, none of those languages are suitable for dedscribing set operations on data base tables.
If a database server DID understand Perl how would you specify that it should find you all single employees under age 25 who have more than 5 hours overtime this week?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
