Comment on Show HN: Simple-graph – a graph database in SQLiteparent

Comments

IMO it’s a different question. SQLite and Postgres are both relational databases, it stands to reason that they’re at least doing things in similar ways. They’re two implementations of the same idea(ish). A graph database is something else altogether. Grafting that capability onto a relational database has the potential to perform horribly.

It’s a bad analogy, but SQLite to Postgres is like AMD vs Intel x86 CPUs, whereas a graph database is ARM. Can it be emulated? Yes. Is there a far greater potential for slowdown? Yes.
