PartiQL: One query language for all your data

A common query language, while appealing, is unlikely to fully abstract over different types of databases with different features and performance trade offs. It will be a leaky abstraction.

Now, in practice, perhaps with sufficient adoption and integration, PartiQL might be good enough for 80% of use cases.

(I'm part of the PartiQL effort.) You are right about the challenge you point out and we are realistic about it. Thus this line in the charter: {{{ While the adopting query engines generally may not support all features of PartiQL, a database engine that “supports PartiQL” is expected to be consistent with the PartiQL specification in the syntax subset it supports. }}}
