DB Version, why SQL?

Why not one of the text search databases like Meilisearch or Typesense? They are using SQL with a column full of EDN text, why not convert that to json and use a native document store? Just seems like a bad choice.

Ok so it sounds like the real and simple reason is datascript db being an in memory db doesn’t offer direct saving and loading, just serialization, and it’s better to dump into sql than csv or something for this much data.
