PRQL early tests, feedback...

Open cw1nte opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Hi, I struggled at first to understand syntax needed, then even after reading the online built-in help and finding the pipe | char needed at points I am still unclear WHERE/when pipes are needed, or might just be useful options... I have not yet understood their role and function I suppose.

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe within the interactive UI of lnav there could be a bit of contextual help on completion of clauses and lines of input?

Describe alternatives you've considered An URL to the state of PRQL while it seems in early stages and has various limitations, bugs etc. Well done for what you have achieved and I do like the better order/structure of PRQL for interactive exploration of SQL datasets.

Additional context With the default colour set it was virtually impossible to even read what PRQL I had typed (the very dark blue in particular), this was much improved by moving to :config /ui/theme monocai

Have you gone through the regular PRQL book?

https://prql-lang.org/book/

I don't think lnav is the place for learning the basics of PRQL.

Can you describe some of the limitations/bugs you've run into?
