> EdgeDB does not treat Postgres as a simple standard SQL store. The opposite is true. To realize the full potential of the graph-relational model and EdgeQL efficiently, we must squeeze every last bit of functionality out of PostgreSQL's implementation of SQL and its schema. Even then we've bumped into the ceiling quite a few times, and needed to send patches and bug reports upstream. That's also why EdgeDB currently requires PostgreSQL 13 or later. https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/discussions/3403 https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/discussions/3403
