Inspired by... but admittedly off-topic... I had recently been wondering how people keep a full auditable history of their data. I've used Hibernate Envers in the past or the now seemingly-defunct Temporal Tables extension for PostgreSQL. What are people using these days? Is DoltLab it, or are there more common solutions?

They wrote a blog about database versioning solutions a little while back, which distinguishes schema vs. data versioning tools. I can't say for sure how comprehensive it is, but presumbly it touches on the more well known solutions.

Nice. While I haven't used Dolt, I've definitely enjoyed reading the blog, sepecially the MySQL compatability stuff and some of the other fun ones (like the alcohol dispenser project). Good luck guys!

So many questions about the git-like semantics.

- how are shas created?

- assuming you hash the entire diff, can columns be ignored? e.g. timestamps or other "unimportant" data

- do any two insertions into a table "conflict"?

I'm surprised you didn't include things like `dat`[0]

I can’t figure out if this is a real product or a joke site? The name is confusing.

If it’s a real product it’s cool, I’ve wanted something like this for a while (currently I just use git repos full of JSON files but this would be better I think).
