Qlik Sense data loading scripts was actually my first job, wasn't expecting to see a GitHub issue on it 😄

Possibly incorrectly, I always thought of Qlik Sense scripts as regular SQL but with added functionality. Would it make sense for Qlik Sense scripts to be treated as if they were .SQL files?

Hello, Citrus!

Thanks for your response.

The language is SQL based, but far enough that it cannot be considered a dialect. It misses a lot of important SQL functions as window and with. The behavior of some commands is also weird as with join - you can not define the keys to join, it joins by field name.

I can increase this list if needed.
