Hmmm - I wonder if we are talking about the same company? The SQR product I know of came out of a US company called MITI (Long Beach, CA), and was marketed in UK by SPS. It was originally a report writer for Oracle, but developed the programming side to such an extent that it became (like PL/SQL) a programming environment in its own right.
Is this the same one that was bought by Sybase? Is it still owned by them? -----Original Message----- Sent: 14 February 2003 10:59 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I believe SQR was bought by Sybase.... so Oracle didn't want it at the conference. I remember IOUW in Miami (in '91 I think).... SQR had an RV outside the conference hotel because they were not on the exhibit floor --- "Robson, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > <snip> > > Teradata would not be the first product banned.
