Any pointers to where one can start looking at the code if interested in supporting other class of databases? For example graph database or document databases with the same UI?

It’s easier for us to support DBs which knexJs supports. Which dB you had in mind? Love to know the usecase

I’m currently interested in building one for Neo4j. The usecase is seamless entity relationship connections and being schema less.

I’m thinking that Nocodb could provide a tabular view, editable view over a graph database which is easily editable.

Any pointers on where I could start? Essentially wondering if the code GUI code base could be adapted to an independent query layer.

As mentioned adding new db is significant effort if it’s not supported by knexJs.
