schemafreedb.com - new, dream database service for web developers?

Hello, I'm Eric, developer and co-founder of Xornet, Inc. the company behind our new service, SchemafreeDB. This is a 2nd submission... we removed some obscurity from the original submission title. SchemafreeDB was designed from the ground-up to enable Rapid Database Development for web developers. SchemafreeDB's unique combination of features include: * Creation of free-form data structures on the fly at insert-time. e.g. Simply add an attribute 'phone-extension' to any phone object, without disturbing your existing phone objects, all without visiting a schema design stage. * Full SQL…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hello, I'm Eric, developer and co-founder of Xornet, Inc. the company behind our new service, SchemafreeDB. This is a 2nd submission... we removed some obscurity from the original submission title. SchemafreeDB was designed from the ground-up to enable Rapid Database Development for web developers. SchemafreeDB's unique combination of features include: * Creation of free-form data structures on the fly at insert-time. e.g. Simply add an attribute 'phone-extension' to any phone object, without disturbing your existing phone objects, all without visiting a schema design stage. * Full SQL support for querying across disparate object structures. * You don't have to worry about issuing UPDATE TABLE on large data sets. In fact, we did away with the entire concept of UPDATE TABLE. * Support for complex, nested data structures. Objects can contain simple attributes (String, Int, etc) or other Objects. * Familiar SQL query language. * Simple join-free, dot-notated syntax (e.g. WHERE $s:person.address.city='Rochester' AND $i:person.income>50000). This is familiar to the ease of working in an ORM, but without the impedance mismatch between in-memory objects and database objects. * Free indexing. Delivers fast index-like queries without index configuration, AND at the same time delivers inserts at fast no-index speeds. * Lightweight, consistent, platform-neutral connection library - JSON over HTTP. Access your database the same way from from any network-enabled platform. We are currently in Alpha. Please check us out at http://schemafreedb.com

    InstantDB – A Modern Firebase2024 · github.com · ▲1,145

    Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…

    A Schemaless Data Store Within Your SQL Database2022 · schemafreesql.com · ▲45

    Hi HN, we're Eric and Dean, creators of SchemafreeSQL. Its roots go back to an on-line Web App Development Environment we developed back in 1999. It was comprised of an IDE, Web Server, Object Store, Virtual File System, Template System, and polyglot (Java, JavaScript, and Python). Of course, we named it “.OS”. Then we ended up dropping it. But that's a story for another time. It was the ease of use of the Object Store from .OS that we really missed, which brings us back to SchemafreeSQL. It provides an enhanced API to your SQL Database which allows it to function as a Schemaless…
