I see this as a very positive direction for back-end persistence services. There are similar projects underway for .Net and SQL Server. Also, there are compatible front-end libraries that follow suit.

GraphQL is finally an API standard that strikes the right balance between simplicity and flexibility and has the potential to be the only query language most developers have to learn – and could therefore fulfil the idea of ODBC. In regards to other SQL databases, we're currently working on a GraphQL database proxy that turns your database into a GraphQL API. We're starting with MySQL but have other databases like PostgraphQL, SQL Server, Oracle, DynamoDB on the way.
