Ways to help

Useful contribution starts close to the work.

Report what breaks

A clear reproduction in an issue is one of the most useful contributions there is.

Fix or build something

The contributing guide covers setup, code style, and the PR flow. Conventional commits drive the release automation.

Add a database

Engines are self-contained crates implementing one Driver trait. If you know an engine wire protocol or Rust client library, you can bring it to RDB.

Join the discussion

Questions and design ideas live in GitHub Discussions; direction is documented in the vision doc.

pub trait Driver: Send + Sync {
  async fn connect(config: &ConnConfig);
  async fn schema(&self);
  async fn query(&self, query: &Query);
  async fn close(self);
}
