Comment on Show HN: PipeSQL – Building SQL queries bottom-up using pipes and filtersparent

Comments

Exactly, its a tool to generate SQL in a elegant manner. Once the SQL is generated, we can uses the generated SQL in the app. There is no need of a new additional layer between apps and database.

That doesn't make any sense. What happens when you need to change the SQL?

To an application developer, this looks like nothing more than a code generator. Generated code is not source code and it should not be edited directly. Rather, you should change the generated code's source code and then re-generate it. While it may not be a layer between the app and the database, it's definitely an extra step in your build chain.

You'd be foolish to tie your application's build process to a cloud service that may disappear without warning. No sane developer would do such a thing. I don't see how this is any use to developers in any form other than a standalone compiler.
