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
