Semmle [seml] is developing new query technologies.

Its first line of products is centered around .QL - an object-oriented query language for any type of structured data. It makes writing queries much easier and more efficient than with the de facto industry standard SQL. Because .QL is object-oriented, queries can be easily re-used or adapted to new situations.

.QL technology can be employed on all of the major relational database systems. .QL queries are translated (through Semmle's proprietary technology) to highly optimized SQL queries on these existing systems. You can therefore enjoy the benefits of .QL without migrating data to a new repository, and there is no risk of disruption when .QL is introduced in your organization.

As a demonstration of the power of .QL , Semmle distributes SemmleCode. SemmleCode is a navigation and checking tool for large codebases. It can be used to analyze the impact of a proposed change, to find bugs, to compute metrics, to enforce coding rules and generally to monitor the quality of code. It works by storing the entire code in a relational database, which can then be queried using .QL to extract or deduce the desired information. SemmleCode is shipped with a large number of query libraries for performing common tasks.
