Porting AGE to SQLite before MariaDB/MySQL

[d4h0]

Hi,

The overview page states:

Apache AGE® will be compatible with all relational databases in the future development, starting with MariaDB and MySQL.

I'm wondering if there is any chance that the team will port AGE first to SQLite instead.

The reason is, that SQLite is embeddable and there don't seem to be good options for embedded graph databases, yet (there are several good options for server-based graph databases, like the Postgres version of AGE).

As far as I know, SQLite is also by far the most used SQL database engine (measured by installations). SQLite is also popular on edge computing platforms (I believe), so this even might make AGE / graph databases usable there (which would be great).

@aked21, @eyab, @jrgemignani, this is for your assessment.

My vote is for pglite https://github.com/electric-sql/pglite
pglite brings Postgres to any WASM runtime include web browsers.
AGE on the edge/browser would be amazing.

Wow, pglite looks pretty impressive. Unfortunately, it only seems to target JavaScript/TypeScript, so it isn't really comparable to SQLite (which probably has clients for most programming languages).
