Abstract
While SQL remains the most popular data query language, it is seriously lacking in operator functionality and power. In general, current relational query languages do not scale up well to support users in the development of complex queries on newer data domains. New relational operators are needed to help users in generating useful queries. We can develop a framework for developing new operators by analyzing the shortcomings of current operators and generalizing their functionality.
