Could you build this?

Partial A database GUI requires writing custom database connection drivers, connection pooling, SSH tunneling, complex SQL query execution, and robust schema introspection across multiple engines.

What it would actually take: Built with Electron/Tauri and a Rust or Go backend communicating with client DB drivers for Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite. The primary difficulty lies in robust connection handling (SSH tunnels, SSL/TLS, timeouts), streaming very large result sets without memory leaks, handling transactional locks, and accurate multi-dialect schema parsing.
