Sometimes you need to dive in an existing data set that you know very little about. Let’s say we’ve been lucky to have had a high level description of the business case covered by a database, and then access to it. Our next step is figuring out data organisation, content and quality. Our tool box: the world’s most advanced open source database, PostgreSQL, and its Structured Query Language, SQL.
Kris Jenkins cooked up a very nice way
to embed SQL in your
code: YeSQL for Clojure. The main
idea is that you should be writing your SQL queries in .sql files in your
code repository and maintain them there.
The idea is very good and it is now possible to find alternative implementations of the Clojure yesql library in other languages. Today, we are going to have a look at one of them for the python programming language: anosql.
