Any performance numbers? For instance how might this handle 1M+ records, 15+ columns in a single table?

I tried 60,000 records and 20 columns and display in fe on my Mac in 4 seconds, not a official benchmark but sqlite have impressive performance

Earlier quoted context omitted.

DB engine appears to be sqlite. It's in the tags on the main page and there's a file full of sql to create what looks like a sample db in the data/ dir.

Would prefer mainline DB engine like Postgres or MySQL

why?

I've been looking at and trying the class of easy to host, api-fied db/table frontend tools for a while. Clicking around your demo the sought-after functionality is there and the roadmap looks promising, good job!

Some ui-breakpoints for a mobile view on tables are missing and not yet catalogued in the issue tracker. Use-case: string searching a table on the go.

I love the idea of an Airtable/Notion open source alternative, but I haven't seen any projects yet that look like a solid long-term bet. NocoDB is neat, but looks like it's a single vendor-driven project that could go open core or die altogether if funding dries up. Baserow also looks good, but already appears to be open core and another single-vendor project. Undb might be a more community driven project over time.…

Regarding the inevitable degradation of open core, is your experience that they get actively worse or just stale? How would you balance that against something that’s good enough today for what you need today? (Ie, is being good enough today enough signal that it will stay good enough in the future if requirements don’t expand?)

That looks interesting! I currently use NocoDB with a MariaDB database, so I can't easily switch over as Undb doesn't support MySQL as I see. But it has the feature I'm missing in NocoDB: a Calendar View which funnily NocoDB promoted on their website but doesn't have [1]. I guess I'll give it a try!

Noco Founder here

We just managed to handle all date time and timezone issues which is quite complicated and made a release like a month ago. When we started, we could not have anticipated the difficulties surrounding timezone issues. So we will be getting to Calendar view soon.
