Hello Luca, SciQL is currently under active development as part of MonetDB. I expect a first release in Q1 of 2012. SciQL is part of the projects SciLens and MonetDB. The MonetDB core team in Amsterdam is working on SciQL. SciDB is a US project led by prof. Stonebraker. Both SciQL and SciDB target at building a database that is suitable for scientific applications, but each project takes a very different direction to reach its goal. For instance, in SciQL, we have chosen for a seamless integration of the relational and array paradigms. We are extending the relational MonetDB kernel to support array as the first class citizens. In contrast, SciDB is building a dedicated array DBMS from scratch.
