If one didn't particularly care what names relation variables are given, then tuples of any degree and of any type can be freely put in a relational database.

The set of relation variable declared (and named) in a relational database is basically another kind of constraint. It restricts the tuple types that can be held by the database. If you have no restriction on the tuple types you want in your database, then define a database where you don't need to give each relvar a particular name...
