> Even though it’s improved a lot the testing situation in sql is still not where a more traditional programming language is, modularity comes either in the form of ever nested cte, stored procs or dbt style templates. See my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34580675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34580675 I don't use nested cte/stored procedures .
