This is interesting, makes me wonder if a "dockerised" database is something people could use. I mean a database frontend with its own language/protocols/whatever that allows you to define the data structure but leaves the specific storage engine or format as a backend detail that can change from platform to platform.

- rekwah 3y agoPostgres wire format is indirectly getting there. Plenty of tools use that with wildly different storage engines on the other end. A clean room implementation would likely yield different results but there appears to be some appetite for a solution.
