spqrtan117··on Show HN: EdgeDB 1.0
Hi there! Yes, I do understand and that the EdgeDB is "a postgres connection pool+orm combined together" and the work guys did is incredible. And I do beleive it will find its niche. But for me, personaly, the idea of "postgres is now a black box for you, don't even try to go deeper into it" stops me from digging into EdgeDB right away (the tooling is amazing! migrations!) and even trying it in our production for our enterprize clients. Probably, with time, when edgeql can fully replace sql and plpgsql, we could say that EdgeDB is ready for everything. BTW, @RedCrowbar, how can I call a udf or procedure (written in sql/plpgsql) from edgeql? I didn't find it in the docs.

So, there is, basically, no way to work with Postgres directly, as well as installing EdgeDB with the use of the existing Postgres installation and its data, right? Feels like a Postgres is a prisoner of the EdgeDB :)
