Talk:QUEL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
QUEL seems like a language I'd like to use. Please could anyone provide some external links to where the language can be obtained, or explain why it is not available.
Thanks, fred2.
[edit] Text output from QUEL
The final QUEL statement to dump into a text file is supported by within many in modern RBMS's, albeit usually in a database specific way. Text output from QUEL could only ever be very platform specific (just think, multibyte character sets and DOS vs *NIX vs Mac line termination), probably specific only to ingres and informix, and so I wouldn't have thought that it could really be described as an advantage over SQL.
By the same line of arguement I could say that SQL is better then QUEL because, in Oracle, I can write image processing routines in PL/SQL.--Jimadilo 01:02, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
