#prql — Public Fediverse posts

🚀 Ah, the brave nerds have done it again—PRQL, pronounced #PREQUEL, because who doesn't love a good Jedi reference when discussing #SQL replacements? 🧘‍♂️ Unveiled as a "modern language" 💻, it's just SQL with a fancy hat, trying to impress data engineers by being as concise as their attention spans. 🙄

Interesting lightning talk:
Community extension to allow efficient graph querying in #duckdb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDdTbhSR2Vo

Also, an aside: I think it's pretty incredible duckdb extensions can introduce syntax like this. We've already seen this with things like the #prql extension. Rare to see extensions introducing custom DSLs in other ecosystems (that I can think of) without the REPL/tooling getting confused.

#database

I been slowly utilizing #prql instead of raw #sql. 😅

So far, it makes sense when doing analytical jobs. But for language support, it is far more natural to use DSL features made for languages like #ecto in #elixir. 😎

Playing with a reverse proxy and the #postgresql client/server protocol to automatically convert #prql queries to SQL (in #rustlang): https://jpmoresmau.blogspot.com/2023/06/prql-to-sql-transformation-on-fly.html

Actually, it's more fun to look at such #PRQL SQL output and query results using #DataSummary 🈷️ renderer from our popular #DataTableRenderers 🈸 extension for VSCode Notebooks 📚.

Not only will our new #DataNotebook 📓 #ProTools extension for Code let you load #PRQL docs with multiple queries, we'll show you the generated #SQL in the #PRQLNotebook cell output, and you can copy/paste that SQL into other DB tools. We'll add show SQL setting to make it optional. #ProDataTools 🧙‍♂️ ...

You can try our #DuckDBPro and #PRQLCodeLens Pro Tools free today. It's a one day deal! Don't miss out if you want to try the latest version of #DuckDB, #PRQL and #SQLTools in Code!

A few obscure things that I wish end up winning over current dominant alternatives:

- #SvelteJS over #ReactJS
- #Podman over #Docker
- #PRQL over #SQL
- Berkeley's #Snap language over MIT's #Scratch
- #ActivityPub over #Twitter
- Geometric product over Cross product of vectors for high-school/college #math & #physics

The official PRQL Code extension doesn't support #PRQL documents with multiple queries defined, but you'll be able to use our new #DataNotebooks 📚 extension to load such PRQL docs in #VSCode 📓 & run those queries inline or with #PRQLCodeLens & #DuckDBPro #SqlTools 🧙‍♂️ 🤯

willing data souls and explorers can try our awesome #PRQLCodeLens & #DuckDBProTools for $1.33 today. That #ProTools sub goes back to $10 tomorrow, as github prorates their monthly tiers and dues collected ... #PRQL #DuckDB #SQLTools 💎💎💎 ...

#DuckDB #SQLTools ...

Also, our private beta of #DataProTools 🛠️ #QueryDataNotebook 📓 extension with SQL & #PRQL query run cells will support SQLite, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and MySQL. We'll see if we can use #SQLTools DB drivers & API for the broader Data Sources support later ... https://vscode-sqltools.mteixeira.dev/en/drivers/

Took me a few hours to whip my new #DataNotebook 📓 extension base code into shape today. Got #PRQL loaded into vscode notebook view using Open With option. Will wire SQL gen., query & results/output data rendering with our #DataTableRenderers this week for sure! #DataTools 🔬 ...

See supported langs in our new #DataNotebooks 📚 for #VSCode ext. 😎

We'll let you query your data stores in raw #SQL if you prefer that, or using the alternative #PRQL & #MalloyData -> SQL pipelines ...

& Yes! Results will be displayed w/our #DataTableRenderers 🈸! #ProDataTools 🔬 ...

Our #PRQLCodeLens users can run #PRQL queries directly on active #DuckDB SQLTools connections, without installing any extra unsigned DuckDB extensions, resorting to duckdb CLI or using Python duckdb tools.

In fact, they can do this with any of the supported PRQL target DB engines: https://prql-lang.org/book/language-features/target.html#supported-dialects

#Pro #DataTools ...

After eval of #MalloyData tools, I am going back to #PRQL. Their repo, tools, docs & api look more mature to me, and should enable adding SQL queries to my data viewers next year.
