  1. Re:Freely-Available Web Query Languages on WebQL Turns the Web Into A Giant Database · · Score: 1

    Alright I will reply to this.

    I have a question, how are you supposed to use this? It's as difficult as NQL.

    You don't have to be programmer to grab a script from the script repository and plug it into webql.

    How is it that WebSQL is so good and so not used? WebQL has been used by several companies to gather more information than could be handled. If WebSQL or any of the other virtual "Web query systems" are so good and so free, why aren't they accepted as a solution? Maybe they are better because they are free. It must be the price tag... So it has nothing to do with which is the better technology, it has to do with which one is cheaper. We're on the same wave length now.

    I wont bash open source, but open source is not always equivalent or better than commercial products.

    People will come to their own conclusions, and it appears many people posting here have ignorantly predetermined their stance on WebQL. So many are so far above the use of webql, possibly narrowed vision because of the specific applications that are highly accepted which can only do a portion of what WebQL is capable of. It is amazing how people dont want to change.

    That's fine with me, don't change and you will fall behind.

    IMHO, WebQL is THE end all data extraction/web crawling/data mining tool for the masses.

    You dont have to use WebQL, just like windows users don't have to use Linux.

    webql is an extremely powerful data extraction crawler for the masses, how can you even compare webql to webmethods?

    Some people seem to have trouble grasping the the abilities of webql, and that is ok. Not everyone wants to see or know where they are going, nor do they want help to get there.
