MySQL support is unlikely, at least soon anyway. MySQL's SQL is lacks many modern features. Malloy uses SQL Structs and arrays pretty heavily to achieve nesting. MySQL lacks these functions. It also lacks lateral JOINs. We have a design to support databases without these features through federation, but right now that is just a design. |
