I have a small company and just ended my SAAS subscriptions and am in software limbo. I am a boomer, who does not have a technical background, but did spend about 25,000 hours from 1985 to about 2012 on Foxpro for Dos 2.5 and 2.6. Then I switched to Salesforce.com, Jitterbit Studio, Rackspace server and Apsona as a really useful overlay for SFDC.

The other day I watched the Lex Fridman interview with Chris Lattner and then watched a video with Jeremy Howard where I think he suggested there would be a time where databases and programming could be in one program.

I am faced the prospect of creating and learning PostgreSql (DataGrip), Python (PyCharm (so far)) and GUI PyQt6.

I am just a small user, but I kind of got the feeling that if one could create tables and program the relationships and print to documents, pdfs, etc, going strait to Mojo, even if I have to wait, could save me a lot of time and be conceptually easier for a humble non-techie like me. I have spent about 60,000 hours doing whatever it takes to learn to create and operate how my sees something, so I don't mind doing the work and taking time.

So the question is ... can you create relational databases in Mojo and just skip going through SQL ad Python? I am assuming you can do the Gui and programing.

Much thanks in advance ... I am new to this.

There's a couple of tools that allow you to access Postgres a lot easier than writing raw SQL. These are generally called ORMs, Object Relational Mappers(?). One option is to use SQLAlchemy, and another more opinionated/niche option might be to use the Django ORM.

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do that via Mojo.

FWIW I typically use the following stack: Postgres for a database, Celery for scheduled tasks, Django and Django REST Framework for a web server and API layer, all wrapped in a Docker container, and hosted on DigitalOcean.

Thanks so much! I will look at your suggestions. I saved all my tables in April. Business is coming back but I don’t want to rush, I can manage the “old way” for a while. Although I have been learning Data Grip and PyCharm, I haven’t started using them in production. My needs aren’t that complex, but I have done this so long that I need to find to program to follow the way I think and not the other way around, if that makes any sense. A friend of mine switched me to DigitalOcean when I left Rackspace.com. Again, thanks!
