I am a SEQUEL user. I'd say that it is great *up to a point*.
Pros
Makes it really output query results to many formats
Includes a tool called ESEND which is a nice way to send email from i
Documentation is good, and both the green screen interface and the
Windows interface (called Viewpoint) are pretty flexible. New users can

Has its own special syntax which is mostly the same as SQL, so it can
provide some handy functions that "pure" SQL doesn't (numeric date

Great support team
Cons
Can't (as of version 8.7.x) call SQL Stored procedures.
Has its own special syntax which is mostly the same as SQL, but has some
significant differences and seems to lag behind SQL features a bit. Some
