It will avoid json stuff cast as string. It is a workaround for this https://github.com/ltworf/typedload/pull/140 But anyway cast is not needed so it is fine to disable it. |

Relational
Relational an educational tool to provide a workspace for experimenting with relational algebra, an offshoot of first-order logic.
I test it on GNU/Linux and Windows. It probably works on other systems too.
It provides:
- A GUI that can be used for executing relational queries
- A standalone Python module that can be used for executing relational queries, parsing relational expressions and optimizing them
- A command line interface
Official website

Syntax
These are some valid queries (using the provided example dataset)
# Join people and skills
people ⋈ skills
# Select people within a certain age range
σ age > 25 and age < 50 (people)
# Selection with complicated expression requires an extra set of () around the expression
σ (name.upper().startswith('J') and age > 21) (people)
# Cartesian product of people with itself, including only name and id
ρ id➡i, name➡n (people) * π name, id (people)
For the selection, python expressions are used.
The syntax is explained here: https://ltworf.github.io/relational/allowed_expressions.html
