PostgresNIO Integration for StructuredQueries

Hi everybody,

I've spend some time on a PostgresNIO integration with StructuredQueries: swift-structured-queries-postgres.

What's Working

✅ Full core functionality (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
✅ PostgreSQL-specific aggregates: string_agg, array_agg, json_agg, stddev, variance
✅ Test-suite passing (1 disabled test = crashing).

Some questions:

1. Boolean Handling: Following PointFree's' SQLite approach, I use INTEGER CHECK (col IN (0,1)) instead of native BOOLEAN. Is this the right call? More general: should it strictly follow SQLite patterns even when PostgreSQL has native features?

2. Parameter Conversion: Currently using regex to convert ? → $1. Works but feels hacky. Better approach? Necessary for Postgres' Booleans dialect.

3. Dependencies + Async: Struggling with clean async database initialization in DependencyKey.liveValue. Currently using semaphores. Ideas? Perhaps defer to prepareDependencies? But then how to make it ergonomic in tests?

Known Issues

• Compiler crashes when building or testing via Terminal swift build or swift test. Xcode build and tests work just fine. Seems to be a StructuredQueries issue?
• JOIN with @Selection causes runtime crashes (see 'liveJoin' (disabled) test). Not sure how to solve this particular one.

Thanks PointFree for the elegant StructuredQueries! Would love your feedback on this project. And please do let me know if you're interested in making this an official integration.

I am really interested in seeing where this goes. I’ll highly appreciate a Posgres-compatible swift-structured-queries where I can use in my server applications.

I encourage you to look at coenttb/swift-records to see just that. Integrates with PostgresNIO. Let me know what you think!

Also, would love the opportunity to chat about this, to better understand what you would like to use it for.

I'd absolutely love that too. Where can I contact you?
