I still struggle with ORMs. SQL is... declarative. If you're working with multiple RDBMSs, sure? Maybe I want my local dev to be sqlite and scaled be postgres? I've never run into that in production. A DSL on top of a DSL doesn't make a lot of sense.

How do you do conditional filters in pure SQL without doing string concatenation?

I just want to write one language at a time if I can. I like sql when querying directly, almost as a UI of sorts, but it’s not my favorite when I am just trying to get my code to work, and the database is a relatively minor detail.
