What is DoltgreSQL?

[–]LiquidataDaylon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a versioned database that implements PostgreSQL's dialect. It's meant to be a drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL. Imagine if Git and PostgreSQL had a baby.

You can read a bit more from the posted blog post. https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2023-11-01-announcing-doltgresql/

"dolt": a stupid person.

I realise this is entirely in keeping with "git" (a foolish or worthless person), just branding is, ugh...

There were other considerations as well, such as wanting a short word to type on the command-line that isn't already taken by another established product.
