SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents fragmentation and bugs when adding features to Dora by enforcing a strict cross-engine contract across its seven supported database drivers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capability Enforcement: Provides a standardized framework for declaring and consuming engine-specific capabilities, ensuring features degrade gracefully when unsupported.
  • Verification Matrix: Defines the mandatory testing requirements for data-facing changes, including dialect-specific introspection and identifier quoting.
  • Use Case: When adding a new mutation method, use this skill to ensure the implementation is exhaustive across all drivers, properly gated by capability flags, and verified against the required test harness.

Quick Start

Use the dora-database-parity skill to validate that your new database feature implementation correctly handles all seven drivers and includes the necessary capability flag updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure database feature parity across multiple database engines?

To ensure database feature parity across multiple engines, you enforce a strict cross-engine contract that validates exhaustive driver handling, proper identifier quoting, and required capability flag assertions for all data-facing changes.

What is cross-engine behavioral parity in a database workbench?

Cross-engine behavioral parity in a database workbench is the standardized consistency across different database drivers. It ensures features degrade gracefully by managing the contract between backend adapters and frontend UI affordances.

How do I add a new mutation method that works across Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite?

Adding a mutation method across Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite requires validating the implementation against a verification matrix. This ensures proper dialect-specific introspection, identifier quoting, and capability flag gating across all seven supported drivers.

Does this parity validation framework support DuckDB, libSQL, D1, and PostHog?

Yes, this parity validation framework supports DuckDB, libSQL, D1, and PostHog. It manages the architectural consistency contract across all seven supported database drivers, including backend adapters and frontend UI affordances.

Why does my database feature fail on unsupported engines without capability flags?

Database features fail on unsupported engines without capability flags because the cross-engine contract requires standardized capability enforcement. Without these flags, features cannot degrade gracefully or assert required capabilities across different database drivers.

What's the best way to prevent fragmentation when adding features to a multi-driver database workbench?

The best way to prevent fragmentation in a multi-driver database workbench is enforcing a strict cross-engine contract. This framework mandates exhaustive engine handling, proper identifier quoting, and capability flag assertions for all data-facing changes.
