Awesome project! Having unified tools is a boon for those of us who work across many different dialects.

One piece of feedback though - I've never been a huge fan of using backslashes for anything that isn't escaping as it can get confusing to know when it's escaping or if it's syntactic (do I use two slashes here? Or three or four? Especially when piping input or putting stuff in text files).

Very cool though and will be keeping an eye on it!




If you're interested in this sort of thing, it's worth checking out https://drill.apache.org/

It lets you query multiple databases but also join between them. Or say, translate your mysql table to a local csv file. And if you need it to be faster you can deploy to hadoop.

worth checking out anyway, I used to use it a lot before i started on Apache Spark.
