I really like the captures features. It lets you follow a semantic API path through multiple API calls. https://github.com/stepci/stepci/blob/main/examples/captures...

Not the same thing, as I'm only ever being the Auth client, but I use the approach I documented at https://github.com/forbesmyester/esqlate/issues/5#issuecomme... . The nice thing …

As a terminal user, nearly all the time, I'm mostly inside the terminal so they don't make as much sense to me. However I'm not _always_ a terminal user. Sometimes I'm a browser us…

Yeh I agree. He veered off into that Salisbury thing and I agree with him about the quality and some of the stretches made in the BBC output but not his conclusions. Other things a…

I am only lurking on this but Craig Murray (ex British diplomat) has a good blog following the daily ongoings on this trial. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/category/uncate…

Naff tables (along with poor graphs) was one of my key motivations to create WV Linweise, which spawns a tiny web renderer to make displays nicer... Love the terminal, but some thi…

Authentication is not handled at all. Given it is a project with a front and back end (using a REST interface between) I think the correct approach is to do authentication on a loa…

The amount of code in this that talks to the DB is really really tiny. It is certainly possible to support multiple databases.

The REST interface to this is pretty good. It's documented within esqlate-server ( https://github.com/forbesmyester/esqlate-server )

It does basic left/right aligning for strings/numbers etc. It's a nice feature/idea but I'm torn between implementing it and also allowing you to do it in SQL... I agree that conca…

That is true, and I considered this approach. But DB procedures cannot link to each other and the target users are different - giving some people a DB procedure is much harder than…

esqlate-server lives at https://github.com/forbesmyester/esqlate-server It might be the instructions for install a bit off but I've tested on MacOS and Ubuntu (both BASH)... Which …

Yeh sounds like you had a similar revelation to me :-) This can also do the linking between "reports" or "forms". Happy you built one, makes me think this has at least some chance …

You write the SQL into a JSON file. Users then can then execute that SQL with their own parameters. So the many-to-many is in your capability... A key reason for this is that it it…

Yeh. It send through the key/values in HTTP POST and then you have the SQL and K/C's on the server, the SQL itself is not sent. Server passes them through as parameters to the Node…
