SciQL: Array Data Processing Inside an RDBMS
Summary: SciQL extends SQL with arrays as first-class citizens inside an RDBMS, unifying tables, arrays, and sequences. Structural grouping by element position generalizes windowing for scientific workflows; MonetDB demonstrates Conway's Game of Life, image processing, and remote sensing via SciQL.
