VIQ is different from other DBMS systems, which have limited command languages. VIQ is a powerful, fully-featured applications programming language, and it offers you full flexibility in analyzing and using the information in your databases. The information of a VIQ program is structured into variables and sets. Variables are multidimensional structures of information constructed from and subscripted by sets.
