SQR is an easy to use and well designed language. It also runs faster than corresponding sqlplus scripts.

Its major limitations are 1) can't use bind variables in group by's, and 2) can't fire off store procedures. At least in the version we're using.

It's also much easier to learn than C or C++. Any decent programmer should be able to learn most of it in a week or less. You certainly can't make that claim with C.
