> It sort of raises the question of, could there be 1 universal language to query relational databases...

Even if SQL and/or another query language could be Turing-complete, that doesn't mean that you can have 1 universal language to perform all possible queries in an efficient way. In basic computer science terms that means that your data structure is linked with the queries, and efficiency you want to achieve, and ad-hoc changes should be created for specific problems.
