Having control over the execution plan is super interesting ! This is a very common frustration when writing SQL.

Do you think it would be possible to offer Prela as a direct interface to a relational database?

Yes, maybe not the language itself, but the ideas behind it. Tarski's Algebra of Relations is actually a better model for modern columns stores than the standard relational algebra, because a column is a binary relation from the primary key into its value.
