FunSQL combines full SQL coverage with a compositional, data-oriented interface

mechanicalrabbit.github.io 9 min read Editor score 6/10

FunSQL aims to support the full range of SQL queries through a compositional, data-oriented interface. Engineers generating SQL can use this framing to assess query-builder trade-offs.

What: FunSQL is a SQL query builder designed to support SQL's full querying capabilities through a compositional, data-oriented interface.
How: Queries are assembled from independent pipeline nodes; reordering nodes such as Order and Limit before Where changes results in FunSQL.
Why it matters: Pipeline order can affect query meaning, so engineers need to understand whether a query builder preserves or changes semantics when nodes move.

A FunSQL query is assembled through a pipeline of independent processing nodes. Sketched from the article's own text.
