Just a quick progress report, in case anyone is interested. First, I added a RECURSE() function to Andl, similar to the CTE in SQLite. The Mandelbrot algorithm looks like this.
xaxis := {{ x:=-2.0 }} recurse( {{ x:=x+0.05 }} [?(x<1.2)]) yaxis := {{ y:=-1.0 }} recurse( {{ y:=y+0.1 }} [?(y<1.1)]) m := ({{ iter:=0, x:=0, y:=0 }} join xaxis[{ cx:=x }] join yaxis[{ cy:=y }]) recurse( {{ iter:=iter+1, x := x*x-y*y+cx, y:=2*x*y+cy, cx, cy, }} [?(x*x+y*y<4.0 and iter<28)] ) m2 := m[{ iter := fold(max,iter), cx, cy }] [$(cy,cx)] m2 [ { cy, t := fold(&, right(left(' .+*#', 1 + iter div 6), 1)) }] The output looks like this. cy | t ------------------------------------------------------------- -1.0 | ....# -0.9 | ..#*.. -0.8 | ..+####+. -0.7 | .......+####+... + -0.6 | ..##+###########*.++++ -0.5 | .+.##################*. -0.4 | .............*###################+.* -0.3 | ..+*.+#+....*#####################+. -0.2 | ...+#######++#######################. -0.1 | ...++*################################. 0.0 | #############################################... 0.1 | ...++*################################. 0.2 | ...+#######++#######################. 0.3 | ..+*.+#+....*#####################+. 0.4 | .............*###################+.* 0.5 | .+.##################*. 0.6 | ..##+###########*.++++ 0.7 | .......+####+... + 0.8 | ..+####+. 0.9 | ..#*.. 1.0 | ....# Still working on the Sudoku. The one in the SQLite documentation is a brute force depth first search that got lucky on that particular puzzle. On most puzzles I tried it takes forever. The one provided by Pasma is faster, but really not a nice piece of code. My hat goes off to the guy for getting it to work, but it's not something to emulate. My C# version solves all puzzles instantly, so I have the algorithms. The question is: do they cross over to relation-land? The jury is still out on that one.

Take your time, this SQL piece is clearly beyond normal human understanding. Perhaps getting in touch with the author could help. Everyone could possibly benefit of innovative views and avenues.
