A relational language extension for Python
Inspired by 'The Third Manifesto', a book by Chris Date and Hugh Darwen,
we're putting forward an implementation of a truly relational language using
Python (Dee). We address two problems:
1. The impedance mismatch between programming languages and databases
2. The weakness and syntactic awkwardness of SQL
Actually, John, you raise a good point.
This Dee project in Python is a worthy thing to study, and it does
represent a major part of what I believe Perl 6 should elegantly
support, if not bundle.
And while my own efforts with either Set::Relation or QDRDBMS (to
rename) can not actually be used yet (but hopefully soon), Dee has
actually been released, and AFAIK, works right now.
In the short term, looking at that project will help to explain a lot
of what I'm trying to get at more than my own explanations, probably.
