Thanks. I'll chew on your feedback.

The domain knowledge embodied in JOOQ is kind of daunting. Truly huge.

Of the current SQL client API tools, mine is most like sqlc. Mine's major improvement, IMHO of course; but concept and workflow are comparable.

What do you think of paying to use such a tool for builds? eg Deployed to a CI/CD pipeline.

Free to use for sql-fiddle, personal, desktop, FOSS, etc. But once a project starts to use a tool for "real work", that's proof of value. Right?

Part of my just wants to want to do shareware. I published shareware in the early 1990s. Since I have the biz acumen of a sea cucumber, I just did the work and let people decide. It was great gig while it lasted.

I guess today's equiv would be some kind of patreon. My reluctance there is the PR/promotion/social media part. I have trouble even imagining what that'd look like.
