| Texpress Query Language (Texql) Guide |
The Texql Guide describes the query language interface to Texpress. This query language, called Texql, includes both query and data manipulation facilities. While modelled on the industry standard SQL definition, it contains language extensions compatible with the object-oriented features of Texpress. This results in a distinctive SQL "feel" to the interface, significantly reducing the learning time for experienced SQL programmers. Texql is still able to harness the power of the object-oriented model. |
