I was looking through their docs, and it seems like it's definitely an
early early release.
While it supports sub transactions, it has many gaping holes left to be
implemented:
the only data type supported is string
No support for OR in the where clause
No mention of triggers, constraints, et. al.
But Matt Dillon is a great programmer, I could see this database becoming
a contender in a year or two for certain types of use cases.
