Topic: SQL in Lean?


Andrew Quinn (Jan 11 2026 at 21:17):

I've been poking around the edges of the Lean 4 community tonight, as a theorem prover that doubles as a general purpose programming language is very interesting indeed. To my surprise I haven't found much in the way of production grade SQL libraries yet. I am wondering why that is, whether there are blockers I as a non-mathematician (but mathematically inclined, did my minor in it, etc) am missing here.

(or do you mean pure Lean implementations, including proofs?)

Thanks for the link! And, no, that would be killer but I don't think I'd be that lucky.
