I wonder how this compares in practice to EdgeQL, https://www.edgedb.com/showcase/edgeql https://www.edgedb.com/showcase/edgeql
Offhand i thought PRQL seemed easier to reason about, but something about EdgeQL seems better to me.. though i can't describe it.
- maximilianroos 5y agoI see EdgeQL as an excellent replacement for SQL in OLTP settings — it has great language integration and a unified relational & typing approach. (Please correct me if this is mistaken though). I wrote the PRQL proposal for analytical / OLAP queries, where the pipeline of transformations are more important, and relations and typing are relatively less important.
- RedCrowbar 5y agoEdgeQL is getting support for generic partitioning/aggregating `GROUP` very soon [1], so we are giving some love to the analytical side of things too :-) We definitely need more collective effort put into "Better SQL", so PRQL is a welcome sight!
