[plt-scheme] Is SchemeQL still being developed?

SchemeQL has the wrong model.  It shouldn't use macros, and directly
modelling SQL makes a somewhat inconvenient language.

Snooze has a better mapping to SQL (http://svn.untyped.com/snooze/)
that like SchemeQL fairly directly maps SQL.  The query language is
quite expressive and Snooze currently supports PostgreSQL and SQLite.
It is pretty much ready for release; only documentation is lacking.

The higher level approach based on the relational algebra (or
calculus; I forget which) has been well explored in the literature.
See, for example, HaskellDB and LINQ.

If anyone is interested in taking this further we'd love to hear from
you.  I'm away on holiday for a week but will answer emails when I
return.
