are you saying you want to use a json object as input to a query?

Retool does this btw. I work there because the product is SICK!

I think `jq`'s syntax is a bit different than bare JSON (I do basic stuff like `echo $CHANNELS_RESPONSE | jq -r ".public_identifier"`), I think it'd be like running a bash script as an input to a query :)

Also not sure whether to start repping TinyDev (my project) but I can pass in an arbitrary read-only SQL query via HTTP to create a materialized view from table(s). HTTP + local procedures is like a very simple RPC :)
