What I Talk About When I Talk About Query Optimizer (Part 1): IR Design
We implemented a query optimizer with a flexible intermediate representation in pure Go:
https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server
Getting the IR correct so that it's both easy to use and flexible enough to be useful is a really interesting design challenge. Our primary abstraction in the query plan is called a Node, and is way more general than the IR type described in the article from OP. This has probably hurt us: we only recently separated the responsibility to fetch rows into its own part of the runtime, out of the IR -- originally row fetching was coupled to the Node type directly.
This is also the query engine that Dolt uses:
https://github.com/dolthub/dolt
But it has a plug-in architecture, so you can use the engine on any data source that implements a handful of Go interface.

Litetree – SQLite with Branches
I just wanted to say thanks for https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server
This is incredibly useful for anyone who wants to build their own DB or wrap another datasource so it's queryable via MySQL protocol.

Dolt Is Git for Data
a very cool project they also maintain is a MySQL server framework for arbitrary backends (in Go): https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server
You can define a "virtual" table (schema, how to retrieve rows/columns) and then a MySQL client can connect and execute arbitrary queries on your table (which could just be an API or other source)
- A Golang library and interface that allows querying anything with SQL

The world of PostgreSQL wire compatibility
Thanks for this write up! I've been really interested in postgres compatibility in the context of a tool I maintain (https://github.com/mergestat/mergestat) that uses SQLite. I've been looking for a way to expose the SQLite capabilities over a more commonly used wire-protocol like postgres (or mysql) so that existing BI and visualization tools can access the data.
This project is an interesting one: https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server that provides a MySQL interface (wire and SQL) to arbitrary "backends" implemented in go.
It's really interesting how compatibility with existing protocols has become an important feature of new databases - there's so much existing tooling that already speaks postgres (or mysql), being able to leverage that is a huge advantage IMO
