Not parent poster but I love relational algebra. But so far I have yet to use an alternative to SQL which is less bad. Most of them seem to be designed by people who do not understand SQL.
- int_19h 6y agoTake a look at Suneido. As a product, it's a weird thing that kinda stands by itself, and isn't particularly useful because of that. But the database and the query language is straight up relational algebra. https://suneido.com/info/suneidoc/Database/Queries/Syntax.htm https://suneido.com/info/suneidoc/Database/Queries/Syntax.ht...
- kevincox 6y agoI agree with you, I haven't found an alternative that is less bad. But that doesn't mean that I like SQL. It is so inconsistent and uncomposible, with too many awkward ways to do different things. I love the idea of a functional algebra for querying a database, and while SQL is acceptable, it is far from great in my opinion.
