Could you build this?

Partial A basic SQL, ORM, and document layer on top of an embedded store is codeable, but a reliable database engine with durable storage, query planning, and row-level security needs database-internals expertise and heavy testing.

What it would actually take: Architect a storage engine (e.g., B-tree or LSM pages in a single file with a WAL), a SQL parser and planner, an ORM layer, and indexes for search and vectors. The hard parts are crash-safe durability, transaction isolation, and query optimization, which need experienced database engineers and extensive fuzz and correctness testing before it can be trusted with real data.
