You keep retreading the same ground. Have you actually gone out and researched why so many people are telling you that SQL is declarative? Right now, it is reading as though you are being willfully ignorant of the entire field.

Worse than just ignoring the entire field. You are caught up in a strict taxonomy that just doesn't work. Cooking recipes are, amusingly, mixed. They are a declaration of all ingredients and supplies you will need, with an often hybrid list of instructions on how to mix them. Would I declare them as fully declarative? No, but nor would I declare that they are imperative only. That is a part.

And again, your definition of functional versus imperative versus declarative will get you in some amusing historical binds. With how strict you are trying to be, literally no programming language is declarative. Even haskel has do notation.

Please give some effort to understand why so many people are telling you you are wrong. You are not wrong, in that if you expand the concept of SQL to everything that is possible with the language today, there are concepts that are not declarative in it. You are sadly misguided in thinking that makes your point. Would be like my sneaking in the "script" tag to laugh at how HTML is not declarative. It is a markup language, not a programming one. And people have done a lot to add to it so that it can do more than it originally could. Often out of necessity to get stuff done.
