SQR, in its latest form, is currently know as BRIO Reports from Brio
Software. Brio acquired the product line about 2 years ago. SQR is heavily
used in PeopleSoft shops and comes bundled in with the PeopleSoft products.

same product. and before MITI, it was owned by Sql Solutions.
I still think it was one of the coolest - and easiest - batch
updating/reporting products on the market. I bought it and we converted
about 750,000 lines of Cobol code to Oracle forms and SQR back in the late
80's early 90's. And Rachel, I remember the SQR RV in Miami in 91. Didn't
they also rent a large boat for a party?
As far as I know, now it is used by SCT/Banner (college info software
product). I'm sure you can buy it outright from someone, but it is hard to
find.

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 programming environment in its own right.
Is this the same one that was bought by Sybase? Is it still owned by them?

I believe SQR was bought by Sybase.... so Oracle didn't want it at the
conference.
I remember IOUW in Miami (in '91 I think).... SQR had an RV outside the
conference hotel because they were not on the exhibit floor
