You made me think about something. A CoffeeScript like approach to build a saner language that would sit atop SQL would be something definitely worth having. Maybe this could be the start of the "OnSQL" movement. Just my thoughts.




Well, SQLAlchemy is designed just for that. In the words of the author:

Being able to parameterize table and column names in queries would be a big help.


It could have a sharding aware data definition language and some support for "on-the-fly" data migrations.
