Q A Communications Query Language for SEED.

Abstract

The advent of computer networking has made increasingly important the task of designing languages with which another program may talk to a database system. The DATACOMPUTER supports a query language which was designed to be generated by other programs. It maintains a quasi-relational database system with no direct linking between records. Q is an attempt to do the same thing for a network database: specifically SEED, which is a codasyl like system developed at the Wharton School. (Author)
