Conceptually, you're right about what real time means; it's all about
seeking guarantees about worst-time performance that they will not
exceed some pre-defined thresholds.

With a relational database, you're requesting a declarative and
decidedly non-deterministic approach to things, and it doesn't seem
reasonable for that to be compatible with hard RT requirements on
worst-time performance.
