CQLF--A Query Language for CODASYL-type Databases

Summary: Introduces CQLF, a high-level CODASYL Query Language for ANSI/DPANS 1981 CODASYL databases. Supports querying and manipulation across relational-style and network-style CODASYL schemas, bridging SQL/QUEL-like syntax with CODASYL data models. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
