Re:Relational is more than SQL by psacawa on Saturday September 16, 2023 @11:57AM (#37535917)
Is there any intention of eventually supporting DML or DDL statements? That's when the COBOL-like nature of SQL syntax is most frustrating. For example, in order to run "ALTER COLUMN ..." I have to parse a ridiculous BNF like this[0] almost every time. I'll never remember it.

Usually, the error is a gotcha built into the language syntax (e.g. forgot the keyword "TO").
