Interesting and powerful looking, but no releases or significant community activity since 2013? There are some answers in StackOverflow, so it doesn't seem to be dead by any means, but worrisome.

A complete implementation shouldn't need new releases... ever. Is there a bug or feature that is not implemented?

  I'm curious what type of development activity people expect to see on a feature-complete system?

    Environments change. Operating systems change. Dependenciens change. Bugs are found. Feedback might lead to new features. There is no such thing as "complete" in software development. Any project wihout relatively recent commits or releases usually signifies abandonment and makes it worrisome to use, for me at least.

Not sure why it's not reflected on the website, but appears to have commits this year: https://bitbucket.org/prometheus/htsql/commits/all https://bitbucket.org/prometheus/htsql/commits/all

  The patch releases can be found in RexDB's public package server, https://dist.rexdb.org/packages/ https://dist.rexdb.org/packages/ The issue tracker is unfortunately private, we fix bugs or implement minor features that materially affect RexDB paying customer's usage of HTSQL.
