feature request: EdgeDB support #416

Closed notramo closed 1 year ago

notramo commented 2 years ago

EdgeDB is a relatively new, next-generation, object-graph database. Could you add support for it, or is EdgeQL too much different from SQL? Maybe adding it at a higher level than SQL? https://www.edgedb.com/

First of all we need to have a driver for this db like for mysql or postgres. Having it we can start thinking on possible architecture for a Jennifer adapter.

@imdrasil What would bindings look like? EdgeDB works with objects instead of 2 dimensional tables, so it can be simply deserialized from JSON. Also, it has a built-in migration tool which is much better than the solutions for MySQL/Postgres in Crystal. However, a type-safe query builder would be cool. I do not know how much it could be integrated into this project, as, for example it doesn't need JOIN statements.

Before generating any king of requests we need to be able to communicate with EdgeDB server - send and receive data securely and effectively. For this purpose we need to have driver. This is outside of the scope of ActiveRecord pattern and this library.

Taking into account that there is no existing EdgeDB driver for crystal lang right now I close this ticket.
