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.

With kind regards,

Jennie
