No being a computer scientist I have to admit I do not appreciate the intricacies of the 'problems with SQL' blog entries. But working with htsql I gotta say it seems a lot more intuitive than SQL. It feels like the logic correspond much better to my mental model. And that there is much less of the jumping up and down the code to nest my SQL code logic that I find myself doing all the time.

Is there a way to install this on a PostgresQL instance on Win8?

HTSQL requires Python 2.7 and psycopg2 binary. As long as those install, I don't see any problems. We have tested it with older versions of Windows without any issues. If you run into a problem, you could report an issue: https://bitbucket.org/prometheus/htsql/issues
