about the technology

SQR is a programming language combining the power of SQL queries, the sophistication of procedural logic, and the freedom of multiple-platform development. This unique combination liberates developers from the constraints of SQL and allows them to concentrate on the application aspects of their programs. SQR has become increasingly popular since PeopleSoft selected this language as its main SQL processing and reporting tool.
