ClojureQL

One of the best libraries for dealing with SQL I've seen in any language. No cumbersome ORM bullshit, just a clean way to write queries with almost the same functions you use to deal with standard Clojure sequences. Very neat.

Nope.

Elaborate.

I agree, it's a great abstraction, but it's disgraceful that the author doesn't even acknowledge SchemeQL, which was clearly the 'inspiration' for this work. But what could you expect from this guy? Just look at his bullshit riddled blog.

I've never heard about SchemeQL before. It's not very popular in the Scheme community?

Probably not. I found out about it searching for DSLs in Scheme, and it was apparently presented in some Functional Programming workshop back in 2002. But the ideas are too similar, of composable queries in Lisp whose execution is delayed, layered over an existing database connection wrapper (ODBC in SchemeQL and JDBC in ClojureQL). Even if it was just convergent evolution, Lau Jensen should have said something about SchemeQL.

It's not clear if they share more similarities internally, though. ClojureQL represents its queries with records which are constructed from the expressions of the DSL, and then translated to SQL and executed through JDBC. Though it'd be rather insane if the SchemeQL guys were working directly on the SQL strings. I'll look into it since I downloaded SchemeQL's source code.

Found ENTERPRISE QUALITY code in the ClojureQL sources!

(RTable. connection-info table-name [:*] nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil))))

That's WIN32 QUALITY, not really enterprise.

joh joh joh /prog/ is so fresh against /prog/ reddit looks like a rat

>>8
It's WinAPI, and Windows is a ROBUST ENTERPRISE PLATFORM.

Get out.

Make me, punk.
