• Merge into Dataphor per McKay, I don't think this is notable enough for a separate article but it makes sense to discuss it in the context of Dataphor. --Cerebellum (talk) 17:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Dataphor. Dataphor is barely notable, never mind its query language. I looked up a random database system that I know has its own query language, and is relatively popular: Apache Cassandra (first one that came to mind). Its D4 equivalent, CQL, doesn't have its own page. Nevertheless, to a programmer looking to learn about Dataphor, D4 is pretty important. I've looked up more obscure languages many times. However, I didn't go directly to them; I went to a related project's page. —Zenexer [talk] 10:14, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
