I'm not a big fan of query builders, but I'm worried about the number of people using ORMs, and I think if they just used a query builder instead, things would be much better. So I decided to fork Squirrel and make it a little bit more attractive for people using PostgreSQL and pgx to give people looking for an alternative to writing vanilla SQL queries...

That said, you can go a long way writing your own simple pure SQL queries, so prefer that over using a query builder :)

Is too bad they didn't look to see that there was another popular project called pgq: https://github.com/pgq

oh, it's just a small project I created, and that I hope not too many people use as I prefer pure SQL queries... so hopefully this doesn't create a big confusion.

Also, they are for very different stuff.. and it's hard coming up with a small easy name that hasn't been used by anything else nowadays.
