The main value proposition is that it unnests the code. Constantly moving logic into CTEs is another way to do it but comparatively it feels very clunky after a while. For example to inspect intermediate stages of a raft of CTEs, you end up

I don't know. Stuff breaks all the time for other more mundane reasons too. I thought you had some inside info about it.

This isn't an alternative to it. You can still write ``` SELECT country, COUNT( ) AS num_records FROM t GROUP BY country ``` And then append something like ``` |> EXTEND FLOOR(num_records / 10) 10 AS num_records_bin |> AGG

There are a lot more composability problems with SQL. As an example, can you write a function that you can invoke on a column in a select statement and will compute the cumulative distribution function of that column? The expression to do t

I work on a project that does tons of SQL based data transformations (thousands). A lot of it isn't backed by unit tests. Some of our people with more of a C++ background have got the idea that this is crazy, every bit of business logi

Even in the candidate's own telling, it is obvious that they misread very strong signals from interviewers. I've sometimes been that overly clever programmer and I've had to deal with it too, on the one side it's great t
