Well, SQL is a very imperfect implementation of relational theory.  SQL fails 
to implement a lot of Codd's relational calculus, such as distributed keys 
and database constraints, as well as making some set operations (such as "is 
not a member of" and "is the greatest(col) record of") far more difficult and 
inefficient than they need to be. 

For more detail on this, see Fabian Pascal's web page, particularly the 
articles written by CJ Date:
