The term sublanguage has always sat awkwardly with me too, so I have just
glanced at the above-named book again, but I can't find the term
"sublanguage" in the index. It doesn't appear in Date's Relational Database
Dictionary either. Perhaps you could give a page reference?
If SQL is a sublanguage, then it might be to language what a subhuman is to
a human. ;-)
