I have tried CQL three times.  I have never found it useful.  Faircom
is coming out with a SQL engine, although I would give them some time
to debug it before trying to use it.

What is wrong with CQL?  I have always found it awkward to work with.
More objectively, there is no support for compound keys (in the version
that we purcahased about a year ago).
