Could you build this?

No Mapping relational data models and transactional queries onto low-level LSM-tree key-value engines like RocksDB/ToplingDB requires deep database engine internals and query engine design.

What it would actually take: Requires developing a relational query planner, secondary index encoding engine, transaction manager with MVCC/two-phase locking on top of raw KV, and a dialect parser (SQL). The core challenge is replicating ACID guarantees, joins, and range query optimizations efficiently over raw LSM key-value interfaces, demanding seasoned database systems engineers.
