ql
(foldoc) | QL
(Quantum Leap) Sir Clive Sinclair's first
Motorola 68008-based personal computer, developed from
around 1981 and released about 1983. The QL ran Sinclair's
QDOS operating system which was the first multitasking
OS on a home computer, though few programmers used this
feature. It had a structured, extended BASIC and a suite of
integrated application programs written by Psion. It
featured innovative "microdrives" which were random-access
tape drives. It was not a success.
The microdrives were innovative but probably a mistake.
Though reliable and quite quick, they sounded like they were
going to jam and explode, releasing a shower of plastic
shavings and tape into your face.
The QL and QDOS only supported two graphics modes - ominously
named high res and low res. High res had four (fixed) colours
at a resolution of 512 by 256 pixels. Low res had 8 colours
(black, blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, yellow, white) plus a
flash mode with 256 by 256 pixels. The sound was next to
useless - single channel single oscillator with various
parameters for fuzz, pitch change. There was one internal
font, scalable to 2 heights and 3 widths.
Peripherals and enhancements included a GUI on a plug-in
ROM, accelerator cards (Motorola 68020, 4 MB RAM), {floppy
disks} and hard disks.
In 1996 there is still some interest in the QL, spread by the
Internet of course. Emulation software, source code, "The
QL Hackers Journal" and similar are still available, and many
QLs are on the net.

FAQ
FAQL
FAQ list
(FAQ, or rarely FAQL, FAQ list) A document
provided for many Usenet newsgroups (and, more recently,
web services) which attempts to answer questions
which new readers often ask. These are maintained by
volunteers and posted regularly to the newsgroup. You should
always consult the FAQ list for a group before posting to it
in case your question or point is common knowledge.
The collection of all FAQ lists is one of the most precious
and remarkable resources on the Internet. It contains a
huge wealth of up-to-date expert knowledge on many subjects of
common interest. Accuracy of the information is greatly
assisted by its frequent exposure to criticism by an
interested, and occasionally well-informed, audience (the
readers of the relevant newsgroup).
The main FTP archive for FAQs is on a computer called RTFM
at MIT, where they can be accessed either {by group
(ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.answers/)} or {by
hierarchy (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-hierarchy/)}.
There is another archive at {Imperial College

PostgreSQL is an advanced {relational database management

developed and distributed as free software, and while
retaining its freedom it remains technically and featurewise a
worthy competitor to even the most advanced commercial
alternatives.
It was also one of the first databases to offer MVCC as
opposed to row-level locking or table locking, thereby
greatly improving multi-user performance.
PostgreSQL implements an extended subset of ANSI SQL and
runs on many platforms. It also has interfaces to many
different programming languages and database protocols,
like ODBC and JDBC.

sql
(foldoc) | SQL
Structured Query Language
/S Q L/ An industry-standard
language for creating, updating and, querying {relational
database management systems}.
SQL was developed by IBM in the 1970s for use in System R.
It is the de facto standard as well as being an ISO and
ANSI standard. It is often embedded in general purpose
programming languages.
The first SQL standard, in 1986, provided basic language
constructs for defining and manipulating tables of data; a
revision in 1989 added language extensions for {referential
integrity} and generalised integrity constraints. Another
revision in 1992 provided facilities for schema manipulation
and data administration, as well as substantial enhancements
for data definition and data manipulation.
Development is currently underway to enhance SQL into a
computationally complete language for the definition and
management of persistent, complex objects. This includes:
generalisation and specialisation hierarchies, {multiple
inheritance}, user defined data types, triggers and
assertions, support for knowledge based systems,
recursive query expressions, and additional data
administration tools. It also includes the specification of
abstract data types (ADTs), object identifiers, methods,
inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and all of the
other facilities normally associated with object data
management.
The emerging SQL3 standard is expected to be complete in
1998.
According to Allen G. Taylor, SQL does __not__ stand for
"Structured Query Language". That, like "SEQUEL" (and its
pronunciation /see'kw*l/), was just another unofficial name
for a precursor of SQL. However, the IBM SQL Reference manual
for DB2 and Craig Mullins's "DB2 Developer's Guide" say SQL
__does__ stand for "Structured Query Language".

sybase sql server
(foldoc) | Adaptive Server Enterprise
Sybase SQL Server
(ASE) The relational database management system that
started life in the mid-eighties [first release?] as "Sybase SQL
Server". For a number of years Microsoft was a Sybase
distributor, reselling the Sybase product for OS/2 and (later)
Windows NT under the name "Microsoft SQL Server".
Around 1994, Microsoft basically bought a copy of the {source
code} of Sybase SQL Server and then went its own way. As
competitors, Sybase and Microsoft have been developing their
products independently ever since. Microsoft has mostly
emphasised ease-of-use and "Window-ising" the product, while
Sybase has focused on maximising performance and reliability,
and running on high-end hardware.
When releasing version 11.5 in 1997, Sybase renamed its
product to "ASE" to better distinguish its database from
Microsoft's. Both ASE and MS SQL Server call their query
language "Transact-SQL" and they are very similar.
Sybase SQL Server was the first true client-server RDBMS
which was also capable of handling real-world workloads. In
contrast, other DBMSs have long been monolithic programs; for
example, Oracle only "bolted on" client-server functionality
in the mid-nineties. Also, Sybase SQL Server was the first
commercially successful RDBMS supporting stored procedures
and triggers, and a cost-based query optimizer.
As with many other technology-driven competitors of Microsoft,
Sybase has lost market share to MS's superior marketing,
though many consider it has the superior system.
