Comment on C-Phrase: A natural language interface to databases under BSD

Comments

Quite interesting...

I have a fear of human-language-like programming languages, after working on a Progress database. Too many keywords, too easy to forget how to do specific things, etc. Of course, that's a very basic one.

This looks like it'd be a fantastic alternate database accessor, precisely for custom queries like the video shows. I'd hate to be a DBA trying to optimize things though, it seems the higher abstraction away from the actual query means optimizations would occasionally require unnatural query text.

All that said, I'm definitely going to have to look over the code. Thanks for open-sourcing it!
