SQL Has Problems. We Can Fix Them: Pipe Syntax In SQL (research.google)

Really intriguing article about a SQL syntax extension that has apparently already been trialed at Google.

As someone who works with SQL for hours every week, this makes me hopeful for potential improvements, although the likelihood of any changes to SQL arriving in my sector before I retire seems slim.

Any query can have zero or more pipe operators as a suffix, delin-
eated with the pipe character “|>”.

"delineated"? Looks like a typo of delimited?

Or is that a play on neat and delimited?

Delineated is a word and makes sense here
