HI all! I wanted to share a useful tool that I built during the pandemic. One of my deepest projects I’ve created in postgres, and I’m excited to share it with the community and get ideas and feedback.
I do a lot of functional programming and needed dynamic SQL. My personal belief is that ORMs are the wrong interface to creating migrations, and I prefer a pg native, functional approach. This library was actually one of the base extensions of a larger set, that I used this to create higher level structures for creating migrations. So while this is “low-level” you can definitely create stored procedures that do make higher-level if you wish.
I hope some of you find this useful with your projects!
