Isn't that kind of a silly question?  Of course not.  

SQL syntax only applies to relational data.  Of
course, such data doesn't have to exist in a
"database" for the syntax to be useful.  It just has
to be relational.

I would ask the opposite question--are there any cases
where you manipulate basically relational data without
the power of SQL?  There are many answers there, and
one them is Python.
