Re:Show HN: SQL to Mongo Query Translator on Wednesday December 12, 2012 @09:24AM (#4910130)

Thanks, that's extremely helpful. Based on how this is built, it might not actually be that hard to migrate over to the aggregation framework. I'll take a look.

Re:Show HN: SQL to Mongo Query Translator on Wednesday December 12, 2012 @09:22AM (#4910119)

Sorry about that! Built this in a hackathon and this first version doesn't support joins yet.

Re:How to Get On the Front Page of Hacker News on Wednesday October 24, 2012 @09:13AM (#4692758)

It looks like this has disappeared from the front page despite 13 votes in 36 minutes. I assume it was flagged :-(

I understand it's a controversial topic, but I don't think this post violates any of the submission guidelines. If this was flagged, I would really appreciate feedback as to why. I don't want to invest time in future posts that might not see the light of day.

Thanks, RJM
