Configuration-driven REST backend library for Rust with PostgreSQL — define schemas, tables, and APIs in JSON, get a production-grade REST service.
Documentation
//! The `Dialect` trait — every database backend implements this.
//!
//! All methods are on `&self` so the same dialect object can be stored in `Arc<dyn Dialect>`.
//! The trait is object-safe: no generics, no associated types.

/// database engines. The SDK calls dialect methods instead of hardcoding Postgres strings,
