There’s no way to express data structure knowledge in sql, only relations and keys.

Relations, keys, and (though you forgot them) constraints express…quite a lot of data structure knowledge.

And every time I want to join table A to B I have to re-define everything, because SQL doesn’t store that.

SQL stores that if you tell it to; the usual way being view CREATE VIEW.
