What is LinkedQL

LinkedQL is a database client that solves the modern database capability problem in a single interface. Same familiar API as a classic client (client.query()), but advanced SQL over your database — bringing relational queries, live queries, a schema versioning system, offline capabilities and more.

LinkedQL is more a modern take on SQL and SQL databases than just a client.

Need the full power of SQL locally? LinkedQL bundles an embeddable, in-memory database — codenamed FlashQL. Use it as a lighter replacement for SQLite or PGLite, with all of LinkedQL’s power built in.

Why LinkedQL

SQL and SQL databases have a capability problem. Modern applications built around them have to wade through layers of external tooling as a consequence.
(For example, need relational queries and realtime data? → typical setup: ORM + GraphQL servers.)

Rather than extend that layer with yet another prosthetic arm for a missing limb in SQL, LinkedQL extends SQL itself to close the gaps at their level — syntax gaps at the language layer, runtime problems at the runtime layer.

All of that comes built-in with the classic client API — giving your database an automatic upgrade in both language and runtime capabilities.
