Se dice que un lenguaje de programación dado es completo de Turing si se puede demostrar que es computacionalmente equivalente a una máquina de Turing.
El TSQL está Turing completo porque podemos hacer un intérprete BrainFuck en TSQL.
BrainFuck intérprete en SQL - GitHub
El código proporcionado funciona en la memoria y no modifica una base de datos.
