The definition of a relational database query language cleaner than SQL, unencumbered by SQL's legacy features (for example, the sum of a numeric column in a zero-row table is 0, whereas in SQL it is NULL), which the authors wanted to be Pascal and Ada to SQL's FORTRAN and COBOL. The benefits of switching to this language from SQL are so much smaller than those of switching from FORTRAN to Pascal than no major vendor picked it up.
