Ok, hear me out: what if we make something that takes a postgres database dir, tars it together and encodes it as a binary blob in SQLite?

We could have SQLite within postgres within sqlite within postgres! Is it practical or even slightly useful? Of course not - but it's SQL databases all the way down. Not that this is a good thing in itself.

Take it one step further, the table-oriented database(tm) , embed clickhouse, MongoDB, Redis and PostgreSQL to ensure you have more flexibility than anyone can utilize efficiently. The one database to rule them all.

  • Now you only need support for qcow columns which you can mount in your embedded engines....et volia, enjoy your storage and compute separation.
