Sharon MachlisGoogle Research is experimenting internally with adding dplyr-like |> pipe syntax to SQL 🎉🎉🎉 ! And “exploring” adding SQL pipes for external users of the GoogleSQL dialect used in BigQuery and Spanner.
Link to paper abstract and free PDF download (via Dai Z. On LinkedIn): https://research.google/pubs/sql-has-problems-we-can-fix-them-pipe-syntax-in-sql/
Google has an open-source implementation of a SQL language definition including pipes you can play with, ZetaSQL, at https://github.com/google/zetasql
