 ## Features
 
-- **SQL and PRQL support** - Write queries in either language (auto-detected)
-- **Intuitive JSON paths** - Use `status.phase` instead of `status->>'phase'`
-- **Multi-cluster support** - Query across clusters with `_cluster` column
-- **Query optimizer** - Pushes filters to K8s API (namespaces, labels)
-- **Multiple interfaces** - Interactive REPL, batch mode, PostgreSQL wire protocol
-- **CRD support** - Automatically discovers and caches Custom Resource Definitions

+## SQL vs PRQL
+
+k8sql supports both SQL and [PRQL](https://prql-lang.org) — just write your query and it's auto-detected:
+
+| Task | SQL | PRQL |
+|------|-----|------|
+| Basic query | `SELECT name FROM pods LIMIT 5` | `from pods \| select {name} \| take 5` |
+| Filter | `WHERE namespace = 'default'` | `filter namespace == "default"` |
+| Sort descending | `ORDER BY created DESC` | `sort {-created}` |
+| Aggregate | `COUNT(*) ... GROUP BY namespace` | `group namespace (aggregate {count this})` |
+| JSON field | `status.phase` or `status->>'phase'` | `status.phase` |
+| Regex match | `WHERE name ~ 'nginx.*'` | `filter name ~= "nginx.*"` |
+| Null coalesce | `COALESCE(namespace, 'default')` | `namespace ?? "default"` |

+## Why PRQL?
+
+[PRQL](https://prql-lang.org) (Pipelined Relational Query Language) offers a more readable alternative to SQL:
+
+- **Readable pipelines** — Data flows left-to-right: `from pods | filter ... | select ...`
+- **Less repetition** — No need to repeat columns in GROUP BY
+- **Composable** — Build complex queries incrementally
+- **Same JSON paths** — Use `status.phase` just like in SQL
+
+**PRQL-specific operators:**
+
+| Operator | Meaning | Example |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `~=` | Regex match | `filter name ~= "nginx.*"` |
+| `??` | Null coalesce | `derive ns = namespace ?? "default"` |
+| `f"..."` | String interpolation | `derive full = f"{namespace}/{name}"` |
+| `-col` | Sort descending | `sort {-created}` |
+
+PRQL is auto-detected when queries start with `from`, `let`, or `prql`.
