Flexible Database Client Features

✅ Multi-Database Support

• PostgreSQL: postgresql://user:pass@host:port/dbname
• SQLite: sqlite:///path/to/database.db

✅ SQLAlchemy Core Benefits

• Database Abstraction: Same code works with different databases
• Performance: No ORM overhead, direct SQL execution
• Flexibility: Easy to switch between databases
• Testing: SQLite for fast, reliable integration tests

✅ Key Features

• Connection pooling (PostgreSQL)
• Automatic table creation
• Comprehensive error handling
• Structured logging
• Health monitoring
• Async support

---

Code Quality

✅ Architecture

• Clean separation of concerns
• Type hints throughout
• Comprehensive error handling
• Structured logging with correlation IDs

✅ Testing

• 13 integration tests with real SQLite database
• Comprehensive test coverage
• Proper async/await patterns
• Clean test fixtures

---

Migration Path

Current State

• ✅ Flexible client implemented and tested
• ❌ Legacy components still use PostgreSQL client
• ❌ Some integration tests need updating

Next Steps

1. Update existing components to use flexible client
2. Replace PostgreSQL-specific integration tests
3. Update safety framework tests to use flexible client
4. Remove old PostgreSQL-only client
