AQL is a relational query language intended for use by the non computer specialist for interactive problem solving. It combines relational capabilities with the powerful computational facil i ties and control structures of the host programming language. A prototype version of AQL, that has been implemented, is reviewed. The Relational Memory System has been designed to minimize the data access operations necessary to process queries.
The interpreter has a user friendly interface which allows the use of default options, synonyms and definitions for the domain names, inference, and a menu facility for interactive completion of the query.
