The article claims that the following languages are table oriented in some respect:

"TOP languages do exist in various levels or incarnations of Table-orientedness. These include Xbase derivatives (dBASE, FoxPro, Clipper), PAL (Paradox), Power-Builder, Perl (for certain list types), Progress, Oracle's PL/SQL, and Clarion Developer."

A quick web search shows that all of these are apparently still actively developed and used. I don't think any one is modern in the particular sense I understand your question since, apart from Perl, they were all attempts to create the fourth generation languages that were supposed to take over from structured programming.
