Interesting. Since you still use Java have you taken a look at Rel?

http://dbappbuilder.sourceforge.net/Rel.html

What are you thoughts on it? Also it seems there is some C# effort/future of incorporating some relational operators directly into the language:

What are your thoughts on this? Have much progress have you made in your toy language?

Do you know of any good Java or C++ libraries that simply provide relation classes etc along with a relational library?
