This free online converter lets you convert code from SQL to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | SQL | Carbon |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Declarative, uses statements like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE; English-like structure for querying databases. | C-like, imperative syntax designed to be familiar to C++ developers; supports modern programming constructs. |
Paradigm | Declarative, focused on describing what data to retrieve or manipulate. | Multi-paradigm, primarily imperative and object-oriented, designed for systems programming. |
Typing | Dynamically typed at runtime, though schemas enforce data types for columns. | Statically typed, with strong type checking at compile time. |
Performance | Performance depends on the database engine and query optimization; not compiled, but interpreted by the DBMS. | Designed for high performance, compiled to native code, aims to match or exceed C++ performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Relies on database-specific extensions and tools; not a general-purpose language, so limited external libraries. | Intended to have a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, especially for systems programming, but currently limited due to early development. |
Community and support | Very large, mature, and well-established community with extensive documentation and support. | Small and emerging community, limited support as the language is still experimental. |
Learning curve | Moderate; easy to start with basic queries, but advanced features and optimization can be complex. | Steep, especially for those unfamiliar with C++ or systems programming concepts. |
