I really like the idea behind this. It's a bit like PostgREST, except with tht, if you want custom SQL, you need to make views or stored procedures. With SQLer you write the scripts on your application server, which has all the usual pros and cons of having code live on the appserver vs in the database. I think most people prefer the code in the appserver, which theoretically would make SQLer the better choice at least from that perspective. I sorely miss a comment about security authentication, however. How are sessions done? Cookies? Etc? More fundamentally, I find myself really liking many things that are inspired by CGI. I think that when we moved from CGI to monolithic application servers two decades ago, despite all the good reasons to do so, we threw a lot of babies out with the bathwater. There's an elegance to the "http request? just run some code" model that only very recently got popular again with AWS Lambda and the likes. |
