Clojurians Log v2

👋 hi all, hopefully quick question, about HoneySQL support for create table statements. My impression is that it’s currently either impossible; difficult+tricky+unsupported; and/or undocumented. Can anyone confirm which of those is the case, if any? Thanks!

@aviflax create table syntax varies wildly from database to database -- HoneySQL's goal is to support SQL-92 / portable SQL so it doesn't attempt to do any DDL stuff.

FWIW, clojure.java.jdbc has some very basic support for creating the DDL for that, but I omitted it from next.jdbc because it really wasn't any better than just bashing strings together...

http://clojure.github.io/java.jdbc/#clojure.java.jdbc/create-table-ddl

So many column declarations require strings due to spaces or punctuation -- and all it does really is (clojure.string/join " " (map name col-spec)) on each column spec and then (clojure.string/join ", " cols) across the sequence of column descriptions...

@aviflax if you're using postgres, https://github.com/nilenso/honeysql-postgres has them.

Thanks! I’m using SQLite tho.
