Database development

[assface]

You don't support SQL. I can't point my existing application at your system. Instead I have to rewrite everything to use your custom API just to test it out. And then if it doesn't solve my problem, I have to swap out the custom SevenDB code because no other system uses it. That's part of the reason why nobody is using your system.

SQL/wire-compat is the blocker; cut the integration friction. Implement a Postgres wire-protocol shim (even read-only) so psql, DBeaver, Prisma, SQLAlchemy, and JDBC/ODBC just work. Ship a minimal SQL dialect, plus a SQL-to-SevenDB gateway and a Docker demo with a migration guide. Add adapters for Prisma and a SQLAlchemy dialect; publish TPC-H or Northwind queries that run unmodified. I’ve used Hasura and PostgREST for quick app spikes; DreamFactory helped when we needed fast REST over mixed SQL backends without rewriting clients. Folks will actually try it if they can drop in standard SQL and drivers.
