Relational language
<language> Any kind of programming language that specifies output in terms of some property and some arguments.
For example, if Tom has two brothers, Dick and Harry, a relational language will respond to the query "Who is Tom's brother?" with either Dick or Harry.
Notice that unlike functional languages, relational languages do not require a unique output for each predicate/argument pair.
Prolog is the best known relational language.
