I would welcome this! I’ve been using SQL for over 20 years and I still sometimes have trouble expressing certain queries, which in my head are well understood. I typically get there but I wish the amount of trial and error was shorter, and the process of turning what I have in my head inside out disappeared.

Absolutely as soon as I start doing multiple joins and throwing up all sorts of trailing syntaxes to further refine/filter/group I get lost

But piping is both intuitive and very easy to understand without having to get everything right from the beginning.

I really hope Postgres 16 can implement pipes, might be interesting to be able to use triggers and functions to pipe to and from, actually might simplify that aspect of it too.
