SYNGLISH - A High-Level Query Language for the RAP Database Machine

This paper describes a high-level query language developed and implemented for the RAP database machine. The language, called SYNGLISH, is based on the semantic structure of the English sentences. The software system developed accepts SYNGLISH queries and produces RAP assembler code which is then executed by the RAP software emulator.
