		jdenquin on April 25, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A Logic Language for Distributed SQL Queries I can see why this might be fun to work on, but as a user, why would I want to learn a logic language when I could just write the SQL myself?

Hey jdenquin, author/Oso cofounder here.

I'm obviously biased, but IMO the benefits of using a language over SQL is:

* Ability to write reusable logic (rules)

* Support for inline policy tests

* Abstracted from the data model, so easier for collaboration and distributing across multiple applications
