LoraDB — embeddable in-memory graph database with Cypher query support.
Documentation
//! `Database::explain` — plan-only query inspection.
//!
//! `explain` parses, analyzes, and compiles a query, then returns the
//! resulting [`QueryPlan`]. The executor is *never* invoked, so calling
//! `explain` on a mutating query (CREATE / MERGE / SET / DELETE / REMOVE)
//! reports the plan without producing any side effects.
//!
//! `params` is accepted for API symmetry with `execute()` and reserved
//! for a future cost model — v1 does not consult parameter values when
//! producing the plan tree.
