CHIQL is a new database query language to,satisfy the requests of Chinese users and has the features of naturalness and simplicity,procedural and multi-statement query.AS a main feature,procedurality enable users to use multi-statements to express a query with 11 templates,especially concerning complex one.In term of its implementa-tion,multi-statement optimization iS a special issue in CHIQL.This paper devises a state-ment.merge method to improve the efficiency of CHIQL query and give some qualitative analysis about it.
