You just learn Postgres/SQL as you go. And I've gotten much better at it (schema design, functions, querying) after adopting Hasura (similar idea as Supabase). It's an investment that will pay off for any developer and will outlast whatever cool framework of the month.

But yeah, there's room for more higher level abstractions on top SQL databases. Metabase actually has a nice UI for building queries. Maybe something like this would be useful in Supabase: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/questions/query-builder...



Different use cases. Metabase is OLAP, Supabase is OLTP.


Yes. What I'm saying is the Metabase query builder is cool. Could be really useful for making a database view this way (generating the schema change in the background).
