If I recall correctly, the "SQL layer" you had in FDB before the Apple acquisition was a nice proof of concept, but lacked support for many features (joins in SELECT, for example). Is the SQL layer code from that time available anywhere to the public? (I'm not seeing it in the repo announced by OP.)

I used to work there. The SQL layer was capable of actually the majority of SQL features including joins, etc. We had an internal rails app that we used to dog-food for performance monitoring, etc. I used to work on the document layer, and was sad to see it wasn't included here.

That has FoundationDB dependencies that don’t exist in the apple repo (SQL Parser, JDBC Driver, etc)
