SQL Support: You can query data from SQL; just include necessary NPM driver and you're away. It wont be "Realtime" though. Other NoSQL Support:
The realtime driver is the problem here. Meteor creates "live queries" by tailing the MongoDB oplog. This works in part because "Minimongo" a javascript based mongo query engine can examine the oplog and determine what does & doesn't match a live query. To support another NoSQL solution, this huge engineering effort would need to be reproduced. To support "Realtime" SQL, they'd need to hook in to something like PostgreSQL 9.4's logical replication, and have a javascript based query-compiler & interpreter. (Or provide a mongo-like interface to SQL.) Not impossible, but not easy by all means. I somewhat agree with the Grandparent (re: Firebase/Parse) - However, I'd like to see the Meteor team have their own realtime database; as the realtime paradigm changes how a lot of it would be built. |
