[comp.databases] informations about CQL

webus@fb14vax.cs.uni-sb.de (Thomas Weber) (11/23/90)

	Hi, has anybody made experiences (positive or negative) with
the SQL-Interpreter CQL by Machine Independent, perhaps in combination
with the ISAM-manager c-tree by Faircom. I would like to know some
details about:

o the power of the SQL-Interpreter (I wish to use interactively
  SQL Statements in my C-source),

o how flexible is the window manager PASS (resizeable overlapping 
  windows, pop-up/pull-down menus, mouse support, many different
  form entries?),

o the practicability of the report generator (R)PAINT,

o is version 6.0 the current one?

Or would you recommend to use an other system for embedded SQL?

Thanks in advance

I have tried CQL three times.  I have never found it useful.  Faircom
is coming out with a SQL engine, although I would give them some time
to debug it before trying to use it.

What is wrong with CQL?  I have always found it awkward to work with.
More objectively, there is no support for compound keys (in the version
that we purcahased about a year ago).
