Better LINQ Integration about pyfunctional HOT 2 CLOSED

After thinking about this more, this seems like it might be worth doing. It looks like the benefits could be:

• Some brevity offered by SQL
• Further differentiate capabilities of the package from other packages
• It is an interesting problem and maybe it comes useful down the line for running on structured data.

I have been experimenting with pyparsing as I have time here and there. Code is in an ipython notebook gist with most of a SQL parser implementation complete.

Next steps will be:

• Do more testing to make sure the parser works correctly
• See if the SQL subset currently there is worth cutting down further
• Implement a parsed SQL to ScalaFunctional transformations compiler (this is the hardest one and I need to read more to find what is the best way to do this).
• Separate out different expressions so they can be used independently to parse some of the LINQ functions when the input is a string (query).

Closing this since it seems far off. I like the idea, but this will require writing a SQL parser/compiler which seems beyond the scope of just this project. If this happens it would be in a separate package and PyFunctional would use it as a library.
