HoneySQL is a Clojure library that turns Clojure data structures into SQL statements, letting you build queries programmatically without string concatenation. It supports multiple SQL dialects (PostgreSQL, MySQL, XTDB, BigQuery, New Relic NRQL) and produces parameterized SQL strings suitable for use with JDBC wrappers like next.jdbc.

Use cases

• build SQL queries from Clojure data structures
• generate parameterized SQL without string concatenation
• compose SQL queries dynamically at runtime
• generate dialect-specific SQL for PostgreSQL or MySQL
• build DDL statements like create-table and alter-table programmatically
• construct conditional WHERE clauses safely

When to choose

• you write Clojure or ClojureScript and want SQL as composable data
• you need runtime query construction with safe parameterization
• you use next.jdbc or clojure.java.jdbc and want a query DSL
• you need multi-dialect SQL generation including vendor extensions

When to avoid

• you need a tool that executes queries — HoneySQL only formats SQL, you need a JDBC wrapper separately
• you work outside the Clojure/JVM ecosystem
• you want a full ORM with entity mapping and migrations
