SAP's ABAP has this. You have integrated SQL and just drop a select statement. A table's type can be used seamlessly: data products type table of comm_product. select * from comm_product into table @products.

actually I do this from time to time. because I tend to forget about the beauty of it. this is one of the nicest thing about being a developer, to be able to step back and enjoy the work. I take this as a motivation for clean code.

I remember that era. I was taught in the transition from the Socialist System (1991) to the Capitalist in (Eastern) Germany. Thanks for your comment, it very well resonated. Maybe that is why I constantly criticize process-driven tools, e.g
