Yes, relational algebra is non-procedural.
Relational algebra comprises a collection of objects and operators on these objects. The operators may be used to specify which rows in the relations, or combinations or relations, are of interest but the operators do not in themselves specify any procedures or algorithms for identifying the items of interest.

What is Procedural query language?
A procedural language is nothing but what we call relational algebra. Procedural language is just like SQL but with different syntax. In Procedural language for "Select" we use projection and for "where" clause we use selection.
What are the main differences between relational algebra and relational calculus?
Relation algebra is a procedural language where relation calculus is non-procedural languageRelational algebra, an offshoot of first-orderlogic (and of algebra of sets), deals with a set of finitaryrelations (see also relation (database)) which is closed under certain operators. These operators operate on one or more relations to yield a relation. Relational algebra is a part of computer science.Relational calculus consists of two calculi, the tuplerelational calculus and the domain relational calculus, that are part of the relational model for databases and provide a declarative way to specify database queries. This in contrast to the relational algebra which is also part of the relational model but provides a more procedural way for specifying queries.The relational algebra might suggest these steps to retrieve the phone numbers and names of book stores that supply Some Sample Book:1. Join books and titles over the BookstoreID.2. Restrict the result of that join to tuplesfor the book Some Sample Book.3. Project the result of that restriction over StoreNameand StorePhone.The relational calculus would formulate a descriptive, declarative way:Get StoreNameand StorePhonefor supplies such that there exists a title BK with the same BookstoreIDvalue and with a BookTitlevalue of Some Sample Book.The relational algebra and the relational calculus are essentially logically equivalent: for any algebraic expression, there is an equivalent expression in the calculus, and vice versa.This result is known as Codd'stheorem
Why relational algebra is a procedural query language?
The syntax of a query in relational algebra essentially describes the query evaluation algorithm i.e. SELECT WHERE FROM --------------- I don't agree with the above answer. Notice that 'SELECT WHERE FROM' is fragmentary SQL. It does not describe an algorithm, or procedure, for obtaining the desired results. Rather, it describes the characteristics of the desired results and where they might be obtained. In fact, relational algebra is not inherently procedural. It involves closed collections of objects called relations and a set of permitted operations on these objects. Please see the link.

What are the different types of database languages?
Two main types: Relational Calculus based Language Relational Algebra based Language. These languages provide similar set of operations but with different syntax. Calculus based is more kind of procedural and near to English, while Algebra based uses a set of symbols for queries.
