Question about the query standardization

[nodew]

I want to know when the work on the query standardization will begin, is there a plan on it ? And, is there a sql style-guide you follow, so others could help with it.

Short answer, it begins when you and I start on it.

Right now, the points in the FUTURE.md are great ideas that will definitely benefit the project, but haven't been started.

Specifically for query standardization, there's two missing components. We need the rendering capability, to convert ASTs back into queries, and we need a representation of all the whitespace and style variables in a query. From there, we can start making a plan.

A quick search online shows that there's a million and one ways to correctly style SQL. We could go the gofmt route and pick one to enforce everywhere, or we could be flexible and have customizable style rules. Again, all part of planning.

I'd like to know what you think. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position right now to actively develop these awesome features, but I'm more than happy to work with you and other contributors to make these a reality.

Depending on how strict the formatter, we may not care about the original whitespace. We should clearly preserve comments, though.
