It’s my understanding that row-based relational databases are basically key-value stores that map from row ID to column values. The “magic” of SQL-based relational databases is how the KVS is queried, and the consistency guarantees they provide.
Part of the consistency guarantees is having a reliable storage engine. That’s the value RocksDB provides.
The rest of the “SQL stuff” can be built on top this.
