Event Type : Virtual

Hey everyone, I was thinking if we should brainstorm some ideas for kotlin open source project :thinking_face:

Could do that! With ktor backend API too perhaps

Am gonna put up a story board soon for that! Stay tuned

Why don't we create new event app for gdg chennai upcoming events <@U07HT1PJHDW> <@U2CK2CEQ7>

<https://github.com/touchlab/DroidconKotlin>

Sure we can do it if you are interested and free today evening we can get on a call and create a repo for this under KUG Chennai today evening. It can be used for any event out there. We can use api’s provided by luma or konfhub to acheive this.

<https://docs.lu.ma/reference/list-person-tags>.  (Used by KUG Chennai and lot of other communities)
<https://docs.konfhub.com/> (Used by GDG Chennai for devfest)

We can also write in a way to switch between luma / konfhub / meetup api’s as needed ..

<@U07G4U59A4A> pls confirm

Hi guys. I have started coding in Ktor.
I need some good SQL query builder (not ORM) to create table and update columns in runtime. Since Exposed is statically typed, they don't support adding columns in runtime and also querying things in run time (where I don't know which column I am going to query in the first place).
Is there any good library which will reduce my pain of writing raw SQL queries and help me to reduce human error?
I have found <https://github.com/darkredz/Zeko-SQL-Builder> . This does not support creating or updating the table schema.

Sorry about the delayed reply.

Im not a Kotlin server expert and I was not able to find any library out there which can satisfy your query. If you know of a library that has the similar functionality in other languages try googling kotlin/java alternatives for the same.

Tagging potential ppl who might have an answer for this.

<@U01V147FYTB> <@U5E7EC7C1> <@U07HT1PJHDW>

Why not an ORM?
Something like <https://www.ktorm.org/|https://www.ktorm.org/> should do?

<@U5E7EC7C1>, I think you missed my requirement. An ORM needs statically typed Table Schema.

hi <@U07NF6AE6G3>, if you are using any RDBMS based systems, changing columns is a heavy (migration) operation and not generally advised to be done on runtime. Would you be able to give more context on the problem ?
•  If you are looking for something to store dynamic columns and unstructured data, explore document oriented DBs. 
• If you are looking something for a multi tenant kinda setup which might be one time you can checkout Liquibase if it might of any help. <https://contribute.liquibase.com/extensions-integrations/extension-guides/add-a-sql-generator/>


I am looking for a multitenant system which heavily depends on Foreign keys. Assume AirTable but interconnected. So I can not go to nosql. I checked out liquibase, it didn't suit my case.
I have somehow figured out how to query dynamical columns in Exposed.
Still a few more areas to explore to create and alter(not important) the Table.
