The latest release of PQLBRL is 0.4.1.
PQL, or Path Query Language or "pickle", is a database query language designed for working with graph-structured data. Specifically, it is for handling ordinary scalar data contained in a database whose structure is a graph of objects and relationships instead of a system of tabular relations. (Other tools and languages exist for other graph-related database problems, such as storing and retrieving graphs as data or computing transformations on graphs.) The syntax of PQL is similar to SQL, with additional bits drawn from familiar sources such as Unix regular expressions. This makes it familiar and reasonably legible. more
PQLBRL, the PQL Base Reference Library ("picklebarrel") is the implementation of the PQL engine. PQLBRL is not a DBMS or even a database engine; it is just a query engine. This allows it to be plugged into arbitrary storage backends and arbitrary query submission frontends. Currently PQLBRL is used as part of the custom provenance querying architecture in the PASS project.
