Description

Using Postgress in an idiomatic clojure way, doing selects, inserts etc would be great! I'm finding it hard to find good sources on this.

Thanks for the suggestion, it's a very useful topic so I'll move it up my (very long) Todo list.

I have some basic content in the Practicalli webapps book, but it's very simplistic and needs updating.

Many people use SQL fairly directly so
jdbc.next.jdbc seems a great project to use and
https://cljdoc.org/d/seancorfield/next.jdbc/1.1.547/doc/getting-started

https://www.hugsql.org/ also seems a nice tool.

I also like to use migrations with SQL too.

Research direction

Review the Practicalli webapps book and the linked next.jdbc and HugSQL resources first. Define the video series scope around idiomatic Clojure database usage, including selects, inserts, and SQL migrations; done means the agreed series is produced and published.
