“It seems much easier to just dump a bunch of files in a directory and to rely on the universal support for the filesystem API to read/delete/update records.”
wddbfs serves a SQLite database over WebDAV, so every table shows up as CSV, TSV, JSON and JSONL files you can open with head or a text editor. The friction it removes is real. SQL is verbose for peeking at five rows, and neither the editor nor the shell autocompletes a query. The default demo runs with no username or password, which is fine on localhost and nowhere else.
