I've always thought that a functional language such as Haskell
would provide a very good framework for using relational algebra
in order to combine and extract data. (In contrast to using
something like a Structured Query Language.)
The open software Erlang system comes with a distributed database
implemented in Erlang where the "query language" is based on list
(table) comprehensions. That may serve as an example for what a
Haskell database may be like.
