Enhancing Data Visualization with SQL Tools

Bryan and Adam were joined by Oxide colleague, Ben Naecker, to talk about OxQL--the Oxide Query Language we've developed for interacting with our metrics system. Yes, another query language, and, yes, we're DSL maximalists, but listen in before you accuse us of simple NIH!

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, our special guest was Oxide colleague, Ben Naecker.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• RFD 463: The Oxide Query Language
• GenAI podcast on the OxQL RFD
• RFD 125: Telemetry requirements and building blocks
• InfluxDB
• ClickHouse
• Simon Willison: SQL Has Problems. We Can Fix Them: Pipe Syntax In SQL
• Oxide CLI timeseries docs
• Oxide CLI timeseries dashboard code
• OxQL source code
• Rust peg crate
• Gorilla
• Clickhouse paper
• OxF: Whither CockroachDB?
• ANTLR
• ACM Queue 2009: Purpose Built Languages

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
