TBH this is why I've never messed with SQLite.

If I want to bother with a SQL database, I at least want the benefit of the physical layer compressing data to the declared types and PostgreSQL scales down surprisingly well to lower-resource (by 2025 standards) environments.

How exactly do you anticipate using Postgres on client? Or are you ignoring the problem statement and saying it’s better to run a backend?

Not sure why this was downvoted, but I’d be very interested in learning how well does pglite compares to SQLite (pros and cons of each, maturity, etc)
