Ask HN: Are SQL developers generally familiar with JSON, VSCode and Docker? I am asking this question as I am developing a data access solution that will change the data access development into SQL development, but requires the above tools. Thanks. |

Can you abstract this to a DB host?
Why are these extra tools a requirement to use your solution? It's better to meet your users where they are, let them use the tools they already know and use daily
This sounds similar to the goals of my hof tool (https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof), lift type definitions out of code so they can be defined in one place, then generate the code for all the places. Is that sounding like what you are after?
Best bets are: VBA, php, ruby, bash/shell/powershell.
You tool looks interesting but mine is different. I offer a vscode tool for user to develop data access services(query, command and repository services) with SQL and JSON. Once the services are done, they are deployed to a runtime server (which is why docker-compose) to provide data access as service to the client application. I have a link here, in case that you care to take a look (https://www.backlogic.net/).
I would say keep iterating on the docs. It's unclear to me what problem this solves and what it looks like in practice. It's probably too technical out of the gate (above the fold). One of the best things you can do is look at successful projects to see what they are doing. Take things you like from them, test it with potential users. It's very hard to step back from your own project to simplify and reduce the explanations.
One question I do have is, where is the schema?
