arcanicanis on Nostr: I honestly wish someone could just completely remake SQL syntax in a better way, or ...
I honestly wish someone could just completely remake SQL syntax in a better way, or standardize some cross-vendor binary intermediate representation (that’d be natively supported server-side), or whatever else. It just all feels like a kludge, and I’m pretty sure we’re decades past the RDBMS wars now. It feels like a joke having to write code to generate a human-friendly representation of a query, that then has to be parsed back into something machine-friendly again; and more steps involved when it’s a prepared query (if I understand correctly). SQL itself honestly feels cursed.
