SQL Has Problems. We Can Fix Them: Pipe Syntax in SQL

[shortrounddev2]

I think it would be cooler if databases implemented a bytecode interface instead of just SQL. Then ORM platforms would be able to compile directly to that instead of having to use SQL as an intermediate stage. Could also provide support for bound parameters instead of trying to use text replacements to sanitize inputs. Then if you want to improve the syntax of the query langauge, you don't need buy-in from the database developers, you just need a different query compiler
