    If you want a code generator like this that has support for that kind of thing, https://github.com/opendoor/pggen can automatically infer these kinds of relationships based on foreign key relationships and emit slices of pointers to connect the records together in memory. It can even figure out 1-1 relationships if there is a UNIQUE index on the foreign key. There is a little mini-DSL for specifying exactly how much of the transitive closure of a given record you want to get filled in for you.

    I like SQL queries as strings but I also like my IDE to syntax check them ... Since there are already so many kinds to projects in this thread I'll happily introduce fileconst which provides the best of both worlds - https://github.com/PennState/fileconst.
