I can buy that an object file can be viewed as a relational db. Why SQLite though? Why not SQL query engine over the object file using a virtual table abstraction? I’m not seeing how most the SQLite features, with the exception of a subset of the query engine would translate over.

If the author wants to make a case for including schema metadata in an object file, again why SQLite? This strikes me a lot as someone who is trying to find uses for their favorite hammer (a very useful hammer I might say) rather than a serious exploration of what a new, improved object file format would look like.

(And that’s totally ok)
