Dear VOQL people,
The other day I announced to you that the Working Draft, ADQL-0.9, was approved because I received no comments during the review period.
However, I found that it would be much better to extend the review period before we promote the Working Draft to the Proposed Rec status. And I hace decided to reopen the discussion among the VOQL group.
For your convenience I would like to mention that there is only one modofication on ADQL-0.9 from ADQL-0.8.1 -- we added a description to allow special characters, "[ ]", to enclose names containing keywords or starting with numerals.
Please download the file from
http://www.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/IvoaVOQL/WD_ADQL-0.9.pdf
and,
(1) read the document and submit your comments on this WD before
the Christmas holidays if possible;
(2) report if you have implemented ADQL-0.9, or report if you plan to implement
this version; and
(3) if implemented, report how it works or which problems you found.
If you think that it is better to extend the review period, please do not hesitate to propose so. Any other suggestions are, of course, welcome !!
I note that our group may become dormant between the Christmas vacations and New Year's holidays in Japan (Dec 28 -- Jan 3). Therefore I strongly suggest you to comment before Christman vacations.
Cheers,
