You're conflating the nitty gritty of schema design (which I agree with you is not that declarative) with the usual case of "I know what I mean why doesn't the machine know what I mean" which is different.

You're still expected ask for what you want specifically.

"I know how to express what I mean in such a way that I can target two very different platforms like JS and the JVM, why isn't there something as powerful for SQL?"
