I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see a buzz of new activity in the repo for the #EdgeDB #RustLang client. I have been incredibly excited about EdgeQL for a while, but I was hesitant to recommend EdgeDB to Rustaceans because edgedb-rust was not being actively developed. But now the main EdgeDB repo has a bit of Rust, and you can feel the energy shifting as Rust climbs a bit on the priority list. I'm really looking forward to the next couple years.

LB: that's a little of the appeal of #EdgeDB, but they don't go so far

#edgedb does not support update within a trigger within a loop

Why ?

Is what I'm trying to do an anti pattern ??

But man, this db is awesome !

I absolutely love #EdgeDB, but they are flying through major versions. I feel like if 3.0 and 4.0 are only 4 months apart, maybe we still haven't reached 1.0.

I went through the #FastAPI tutorial for #EdgeDB 3.0 and I gotta say it's come a long way since I tried it last.

This is a very quick way to get from zero to a modern asynchronous type-annotated #Python app. And no ORM in sight!

The downside: #EdgeQL is currently (seemingly) only implemented by #EdgeDB.
EdgeDB *is* a relational database at heart (they don't get tired of mentioning #Postgres) and EdgeQL queries *do* compile to SQL (from what I can tell, this is not very openly mentioned).
But using it with an existing relational database seems to be entirely unsupported. This makes me sad. Shouldn't it be totally possible?

The cool thing about #EdgeQL (by #EdgeDB) over #GraphQL is that you can actually use it for ... querying.

A bit more progress in learning #edgedb
Simple schema migration and retrieving data from http works quite well, now I need to try creating schemas with constraints and links.(most likely tomorrow)

OK
I managed to make it work.
CLI Only.
Works quite well...
I should try to integrate it somewhere to test it for real !
#edgedb

Well, NO
I tried it just now and is not production ready.
Even if I put sdl schema just as the tutorial described select didn;t work
I tried to create one more dbschema in other folder and gave the following error: edgedb error: ClientConnectionFailedError: invalid certificate: UnknownIssuer
so, for me it didn;t work at all
