Wine supports WoW64 since recently [1] [1] https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-WoW64-Wine

You can use access policies [1] to emulate temporal data. See an example in [2] [1] https://docs.geldata.com/reference/datamodel/access_policies [2] https://github.com/geldata/gel/…

Strictly speaking we charge for compute and storage. You can create variously-sized Gel instances and within those instances an arbitrary number of branches.

The paper seems to mostly focus on the quality of cardinality estimation (mostly driven by statistics) which is admittedly one of the frequent sore points in Postgres. There's been…

That's already supported, you just need to set the Postgres cluster URI in the `GEL_SERVER_BACKEND_DSN` env var ([1]). [1] https://docs.geldata.com/reference/reference/environment#…

You can use Docker (and Docker Compose) with Gel for local development [1], but of course you'd miss out on most management features of the CLI, because it's not built to supplant …

Gel as in gif obviously! :-)

EdgeDB is NOT an object store. It is "relational model enhanced" instead where a set is a fundamental building block [1] so not just relations are sets, but attributes can be sets …

If your database client is any good, it should do the retries for you. EdgeDB uses serializable isolation (as the only option), and all our bindings are coded to retry on transacti…

Yes. Apache 2.0 licensed with lots of focus on local-first development.

There is a work-in-progress query builder support for .NET: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-net/tree/feat/querybuilder-...

We wrote a blog post about this specifically: https://www.edgedb.com/blog/why-orms-are-slow-and-getting-sl...

> Can EdgeDB solve the problems like `soft-delete`? Yes, with access policy rules. E.g global hide_deleted: bool; type SoftDeletable { deleted: bool; access policy hide_deleted all…

The whole thing consists of these main parts: 1. SQL parser: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/tree/master/edb/pgsql/parse... 2. SQL transpiler: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/tre…

No plans for that yet. We feel EdgeQL is a far superior choice for the intended use case of application development.

Yes, although rewrites are fairly minimal. Mostly limited to name mangling.

Yes, we are looking into possibly supporting in-place upgrades in future releases.

Efficient transitive closure (aka link recursion) is something we plan to tackle soon (see https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/discussions/2634 for some discussion on the topic).

Yes: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-go/issues/182 Feel free to jump in with suggestions, we need feedback from experienced Go devs.

EdgeDB does not use Postgres RLS, access rules are injected into every query by the query compiler instead. This side-steps the RLS gotchas and limitations (RLS does not allow aggr…

Alas, we have to wait until CockroachDB becomes a bit more capable SQL-wise. I gave a more elaborate answer in https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/discussions/3403 .

With the addition of `GROUP` in 2.0, EdgeDB is as suitable for OLAP as vanilla Postgres is (unless you absolutely need window functions, which we don't implement yet).

EdgeDB is very particular about how the underlying data is organized, so you can't put it in front of an existing database. Importing schemas and data is another story which we're …

Only the query compiler is in pure Python and you only hit that once per query, as the compilation result is trivially cached. The hot path is a combination of Cython, C and Rust. …
