I have to mention here postgrest I'm very fan of it, to me it's a nice equilibrium between documents and relational. For complex queries I just create db views that become very easy http requests, returning json "documents". I don't want to discredit the technical merit of BedquiltDB or similar approaches, but if you already know http and sql what are the benefits of going BedquiltDB over postgrest ?


Since you're a user, I'm going to ask: what do you think as Postgrest with its UI working as a standalone app for boring data management and that kind of stuff? The case I have in mind is one in which a small company wants to get some data into the computer, for no specific reason, and wants to pay for an expensive software. Postgrest for the rescue! Or isn't it a good idea? (I have never used it aside from the demo)


Yes! postgrest + ng-admin for boring CRUD admin panels is perfect. https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin And here a repo that has the http interceptor configured for postrest. https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin-postgrest ngAdmin it's based on Angularjs, but marmelab has a version based on Reactjs too, that I did't have time to test yet.

[edit] Just to clarify, you said "its UI" but postgrest and ng-admin are independent pieces of software, that happened to work very nicely together.


Thank you!
