Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
Preql
- Pql, a pipelined query language that compiles to SQL (written in Go)

PRQL, Pipelined Relational Query Language
Hm, I just realized there are two similar projects with very similar names: this one, and

Oops, I wrote yet another SQLAlchemy alternative (looking for contributors!)
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Erez. You may know some of the Python libraries I wrote in the past: Lark, Preql and Data-diff.

Why don't SQL transpilers take off?

Even Babies fear … Fu**ing SQL
But what about PreQL?

Show HN: PRQL – A Proposal for a Better SQL
It seems people here are really interested in alternatives to SQL. So perhaps you'd also like to have a look at https://github.com/erezsh/Preql
(Same name, same goal, different approach, and already working)
-
Made a Programing language using python
There's also lark, which is used by a plethora of projects (I haven't used it, but I heard about PreQL on a podcast where they talk for a bit about what it's like to develop a new language in lark)
-
A primer on programming languages for data science
Just want to mention preql exists as an option - https://github.com/erezsh/Preql
- Ask HN: SQL tooling: REPL-likes, Intellisense, etc.

Against SQL
I share the author's point of view, which led me to start a new relational programming language that compiles to SQL. If that sounds interesting, you can find it here: https://github.com/erezsh/Preql

Prolog language for PostgreSQL proof of concept
If you're interested in this I would also recommend you check out Logica[0], which is a datalog-like language that is explicitly made to compile to SQL queries.

Introduction to Datalog
> I guess the intention is to be better than SQL but then I was left with "under which circumstances?"
Excellent question.
Two of the most common use cases for databases are "transactional processing" (manipulating small numbers of rows in real time) and "analytical processing" (querying enormous numbers of rows, typically in a read-only fashion).
SQL is generally fine for transactional workloads.
But analytical queries sometimes involve multi-page queries, with lots of JOINs and CTEs. And these queries are often automatically generated.
And once you start writing actual multi-page "programs" in SQL, you may decide that it's a fairly clunky and miserable programming language. What Datalog typically buys you is a way to cleanly decompose large queries into "subroutines." And it offers a simpler syntax for many kinds of complex JOINs.
Unfortunately, there isn't really a standard dialect of Datalog, or even a particular dialect with mainstream traction. So choosing Datalog is a bit of a tradeoff: does it buy you enough, for your use case, that it's worth being a bit outside the mainstream? Maybe! But I'd love to see something like Logica gain more traction: https://logica.dev/

Mangle, a programming language for deductive database programming
Interesting; a Google engineer previously published a Datalog variant for BigQuery: https://logica.dev/
This new language seems similar to differential-Datalog (which is sadly in maintenance mode): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33521561

Show HN: PRQL – A Proposal for a Better SQL
Looks pretty cool. I'd be interested if the README had a comparison with Google's Logica (https://github.com/EvgSkv/logica)
-
PathQuery, Google's Graph Query Language
Oh wow that is neat!
And yes, this kind of thing is why datalog is a lot more amenable to fast query plans & runtimes than prolog. This part is especially cool: https://github.com/EvgSkv/logica/blob/main/compiler/dialects...

Thought about Logica: Google new programming language that compiles to SQL ?
Google new programming Language that compiles to SQL (Support BigQuery and Postgres) feels very exciting. Blog: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/04/logica-organizing-your-data-queries.html Github: https://github.com/EvgSkv/logica

Google Logica Aims To Make SQL Queries More Reusable and Readable
Going to be? It already is. In fact, one thing the article misses is right there at the bottom of the project page:
What are some alternatives?
prql - PRQL is a modern language for transforming data — a simple, powerful, pipelined SQL replacement
scryer-prolog - A modern Prolog implementation written mostly in Rust.
PyPika - PyPika is a python SQL query builder that exposes the full richness of the SQL language using a syntax that reflects the resulting query. PyPika excels at all sorts of SQL queries but is especially useful for data analysis.
ungoogled-chromium-archlinux - Arch Linux packaging for ungoogled-chromium
rel8 - Hey! Hey! Can u rel8?
malloy - Malloy is an experimental language for describing data relationships and transformations.
db-benchmark - reproducible benchmark of database-like ops
dbt-core - dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software engineers use to build applications.
prosto - Prosto is a data processing toolkit radically changing how data is processed by heavily relying on functions and operations with functions - an alternative to map-reduce and join-groupby
differential-datalog - DDlog is a programming language for incremental computation. It is well suited for writing programs that continuously update their output in response to input changes. A DDlog programmer does not write incremental algorithms; instead they specify the desired input-output mapping in a declarative manner.
