Moved from core repo to extensions repo. See amark/gun#55 for details.

hi, you could use this lib for parsing SQL and getting back an AST tree :

wow! This is fantastic. Just took a peek haven't played with it yet - do you have a sample output?

Has there been additional discussion of this. SQL-like queries would be awesome. Is there a repo where one could contribute to?

I suggest the first step is Gun-db replication to relational databases - see #32

This way you get the perfection of postgresql (for example), heaps of tooling, rock-solid security, and standard backup systems.

You might consider something like postgresql as a technology-redundant backup. If the data is in postgresql you can be doubly-sure it's not going anywhere.

Then later, direct SQL querying might be useful. I suspect a Fluent JS API would be better than SQL. That is, LINQ for JS, that translates directly to native gun-db api calls.
