One Syntax, Any Database
Learn UQAL once. The same get_table, where, and insert_row work whether your backend is PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Neo4j, or a custom module. Switch databases without rewriting queries.
Plugin Architecture
The core knows nothing about databases. Every database is a module that plugs into the grammar, type system, and executor. Adding a new database means implementing one interface — not forking the language.
Native Escape Hatch
When the abstraction is not enough, drop to native: db.sql(), db.mongo(), db.cypher(). Native queries run through a security validator that blocks destructive patterns before execution.
Using UQAL
Install the CLI, connect your database, and start querying. The User Guide covers installation, all language syntax, CLI commands, and database-specific behaviour.
