## What it is
Yesql is a Clojure library for using plain SQL by defining queries in annotated .sql files and loading them as regular Clojure functions. It deliberately avoids building a SQL DSL, keeping SQL as SQL while integrating it cleanly with JDBC.

## Use cases
- write sql queries in clojure without a dsl
- load sql files as clojure functions
- keep sql syntax highlighting and readability in clojure projects
- run parameterized jdbc queries from clojure
- separate sql queries from application code

## When to choose
- you prefer writing raw SQL over a DSL or ORM in Clojure
- you want queries in separate .sql files with named parameters
- you need a simple, composable JDBC wrapper

## When to avoid
- you want an actively developed library (consider HugSQL)
- you prefer a query DSL or full ORM abstraction
- you need compile-time query validation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, database-driver, orm
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: clojure, sql, jdbc, query-files, database-access
