I'm not sure why you say that all client/server systems use SQL.
Perhaps all client/server SQL database systems use SQL (a tautology),
but some databases don't, and non-database client/server packages
probably have no need to use SQL.

For example, plain RPCs and TP Monitor C/S calls pass arbitrary information
between clients and servers.  Most client/server access is probably
just remote file access, and that has nothing to do with SQL.

Even C/S SQL databases don't always pass SQL.  If a stored procedure is
being invoked, then the message need only include the name of the
procedure.
