I'm surprised with the lack of information about this on the internet:

The 3rd generation is the first generation that allowed a program to be run on a different machine than the one it was developed on. 3GL languages such as pascal and Fortran use procedural methods to accomplish a task: an explicit sequence of steps that produce a result.

4GL languages are non-procedural, they concentrate on what you want to do rather than how to do it. This is where object-oriented PL can fall under. An example is SQL.
