I agree, better a mediocre standard than none.
Out of interest, for Javascript there are many languages that transpile to javascript but support quite different approaches like functional programming, strongly typed, etc.
Is there something similar for SQL, where you allow an alternative syntax and maybe programming approach and then use SQL as connection to the DB ?

- ndm000 5y agoReading through these posts, I had exactly the same thought. Why not have a language that takes the problems with SQL and abstracts them to something that is more easily organized into functions, modules, and packages, corrects some of the semantic problems, integrates well with source control, testing, deployment pipelines, etc. DBT is solving this problem well for data warehouses, but I do not know if a similar tool application databases.
