It is an older language. But there's no relation to Java (which is also an older language).
Just learning SQL or Java won't get you a job if you don't have a background in Math, CS, or something similar though.

You are right...I use SQL as a tool to compliment the mathematical finance that I do. If another tool came out that was better, I would use that.
The math/theory is definitely more important than any given language.
