> I am wondering, why it took so long for something like this to happen for Postgres
> We were thinking about adding PostgreSQL support to Vitess several years ago. However, we realized that it would be more efficient if each tool was focused on a specific task.

Before Dolt appeared on my radar, I thought this problem was non-trivial, and very difficult to implement: Whenever a fork occurs, or blocks arrive at your node that conflict with your current chain, you have to validate these new blocks against a snapshot of your data at a specific point in time. This point in time is determined by the parent block hash of the incoming blocks. This requirement for "time-travel" has always deterred me from attempting my own blockchain implementation. I know that there are blockchains out there that have (maybe?) solved this, but I'm not as good as a programmer as those guys. If you're anything like me, maybe you can relate.

frameworks / ORM are just specilized database graphical user interface front ends designed to simplify how data is displayed/inputed
Database management systems usually provide a way of importing/exporting 'raw' data via sql statement(s) results. aka cvs, comma delimited, html formatted, json formatted, etc. aka do command line sql query with 'html formatted output' and open results of file in a brower.
postgres psql provides an interactive 'cli' environment; windows sql server - sqlcmd;
usql[1] provides something similar to psql for no-sql databases.
sqlc is sorta the equivalent of combining the command line shell & sql queries. SQLx rust is rust extention for handling 'sql from command line, just via rust language, instead of going through command line shell.'

Project mention: Show HN: Outerbase Studio – Open-Source Database GUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-04
Two more tools I really enjoy:
- https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/ - electron based and I find it really simple to use.
- https://github.com/k1LoW/tbls - generate markdown docs from databases (similar to DbVisualizer, but it's a static binary and you can just push the md files - see https://github.com/bbkane/envelope/tree/master/dbdoc for example)
-
upper.io/db
