Question: support for other database providers

[peterbud]

My question relates to the roadmap: are there any plans for supporting other database engines, like Microsoft SQL or others?

Hey @peterbud - this is something I'm undecided about for now. I have already investigated the option of adding MySQL support as it can produce similar-ish EXPLAIN output.

SQL Server is bit of different beast given STATISTICS format and differences in schema introspection. Another change is support of parameter syntax (@p1, @p2, etc.) which first needs to be added to https://github.com/boringSQL/queries (where I definitely start to extend the database support).

Keeping this open for reference and collecting further feedback.
