That much is clear, and I think the differences are probably the interesting part. :) I'll try to set aside some time to look at the implementation details of the two libraries. My favorite blog post (not mine) discussing this is: http://thinkrevoactevo.blogspot.com/2011/11/sql-in-clojure.html http://thinkrevoactevo.blogspot.com/2011/11/sql-in-clojure.h... but it also does not address the fact that relational algebra and SQL selects are very closely related things. I think that there is a very nice theoretical issue hiding here realting to composable sql fragments. If I come to any interesting conclusions I'll message you. Part of my day job is writing a new type of query compiler, so this is an interesting topic to me.
