[erlang-questions] [ANN] mekao - SQL constructor library

[Daniil Churikov]

I saw this library when I was looking for solutions of my problem. This 
library have different approach:
although you use records to define your query, you should write a query but 
in terms of internal DSL (i.e. {insert,project,[{foo,5},{baz,"bob"}]}).


You still need to keep somewhere a table name "project", you need to serialize, say,
your record to proplist where name of fields should be the same as columns in DB. Otherwise you need
to maintain fields to columns translation as well.


mekao comparable to sqerl provides more high-level abstractions, but, I 
suppose, not such flexible (b/c theoretically we could
completely cover all SQL with internal sqerl's DSL, but then why I need to 
use this library if I could write plain SQL?).
