Let me help you - SQL and the whole predicate logic is prolog from start to end and also grammar and also regex and also recursion and also generative.

The thing is to make something actually useful out of it. Stochastic guys figured how to encode information with their stochastic approach. The relational algebra guys did something with discreet relations, we’ve been only scratching grammars even though LZW, sequitur and alike are grammar tasks.

Markov chains included, we’ve done very little in this regard. Much to expound on here. Patinjali was onit 3k years ago.
