Is SQL classified as a fourth generation language or as a fifth generation language?
SQL tries to be a 5GL, by allowing the user to express their intent at a high level of abstraction while leaving the determination of an algorithm for achieving the intent up to the engine.
Unfortunately, due to various deficiencies in the language, it falls far short of that goal.
