  • Relational is more than SQL

    Thank you.

    The CLI usability was one of the aims behind [prql-query (pq)](https://github.com/prql/prql-query/). sqlite integration was on the roadmap but unfortunately that project has been largely unmaintained by me for the past 6 months. (This is just referring to prql-query and not PRQL which is under very active development.)

    I'm working on a new project which will do exactly this (and a lot more!) which I hope to release next week. I'll drop the link here when that's ready.

    As an aside, I could also look at including GQL as a backend in pq (https://github.com/prql/prql-query/) which is my project. It's a bit badly maintained the last few months due to my time constraints but I want to do a big upgrade with the imminent PRQL 0.9 release.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think I knew about usql. I completely agree with you and have been working on a cli tool called `prql-query` or `pq` at the command line:

    Unfortunately I haven't had much time to spend on it of late but hope to push some updates soon.

    So, after digging about in the docs, I found the Best Practices[0] page which lays out what you describe. I was disappointed to find it is just using idempotent creation statements for procedures and views and putting them all in files that are re-run on each migration step-along with each new roll forward migration-so that new versions of these logic objects replace any old ones. This is not exactly something that liquidbase provides, should be easily replicatable, and I was hoping it'd do diffs to provide similar experience on tables as well.

    After some web searching, I came across a project[1] that's trying to do what I describe but it appears to be dead. I'm surprised that migration tools (that I looked through) don't already support such a basic approach that I suspect I'm missing something obvious. Some fundamental block in how SQL works or maybe it doesn't work that well in practice for, in concept, it sounds easy to script using what they call a shadow db and `pg_diff`.
