Graph-Relational Model
EdgeDB combines the features of relational and graph databases, allowing for complex queries and relationships while maintaining data integrity typical in relational databases.
Advanced Query Language (EdgeQL)
EdgeQL offers a more intuitive and expressive query syntax compared to traditional SQL, facilitating easier and more efficient data retrieval.
Schema Evolution
EdgeDB provides robust tools for schema migrations and versioning, making it easier to evolve the database schema without downtime or data loss.
Type Safety
With its strong typing system, EdgeDB reduces runtime errors by ensuring data type consistency across the database operations.
Integrated Indexing and Constraints
EdgeDB supports advanced indexing and constraints, improving query performance and maintaining data integrity natively.

>relational no-sql Do you mean something like edgeDB?[0] Or do you mean some non-declarative language completely? I don't see the latter making much sense. The issue with SQL for me is the "natural language" which quickly loses all intended readabilty when you have SELECT col1, col2 FROM (SELECT * FROM ... WHERE 1=0 AND ... Which is what edgeDB is trying to solve. [0]https://edgedb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
You have to do your own optimiser to avoid, for instance, the N+1 query problem. (Just Google that, plenty of explanations around.) Many GraphQL frameworks have a “naive” subquery implementation that performs N individual subqueries. You either have to override this for each parent/child pairing, or bolt something on the back to delay all the “SELECT * FROM tbl_subquery WHERE id = ?” operations and convert them... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
