This free online converter lets you convert code from SQL to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | SQL | Gleam |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Declarative, uses English-like statements for data manipulation (e.g., SELECT, INSERT). | Functional, uses ML-inspired syntax with pattern matching and type annotations. |
Paradigm | Declarative, focused on describing what data to retrieve or manipulate. | Functional, emphasizes immutability and pure functions. |
Typing | Dynamically typed at runtime, types are enforced by the database engine. | Statically and strongly typed, with type inference and compile-time checks. |
Performance | Performance depends on the database engine and query optimization. | Compiled to efficient BEAM bytecode, performance is good for functional workloads. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited to database-specific extensions and tools. | Growing ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native libraries compared to mature languages. |
Community and support | Very large, mature, and well-supported community. | Small but active and growing community, less mature support. |
Learning curve | Relatively easy for basic queries, but complex queries and optimization can be challenging. | Moderate to steep, especially for those new to functional programming. |
