Neat examples, and I agree that extending SQL like this has real potential. Another project along very similar lines is https://github.com/ryrobes/larsql

Fairly easy to extend SQLite, Postgres and MariaDB/MySQL!

Curious what relational database do you @refset use? Is the code open source? Is the engine from scratch? What general dialect does it support?

Cheers!

  • I work on https://github.com/xtdb/xtdb which is broadly Postgres-compatible with a few key SQL extensions (SQL:2011 bitemporal tables + immutability, first-class nested data, pipeline syntax, etc). Built on Arrow and the JVM but is otherwise mostly from scratch.

    XTDB is perhaps not directly relevant to the topic at hand, but I am a firm believer that ML workflows can benefit from robust temporal modelling.
