Hi! Thanks for the feature request. Can you provide a little more info about your use case? What does a function like that help you accomplish?

@zongweil For context, the function @sqlquery mentions was written by me and published in a separate repo after discussions on the mailing list. Here are two threads in which potential use cases are discussed:

Thanks for the pointers. I'll start a thread internally about where the expanded functionality would go (e.g. core library or separate repo like you currently have).
