Description

To support storing pointers persistently in the DATEX, we want to implement multiple storage interfaces (e.g. Databases like SQL, localStorage, file storage, embedded flash storage).

All storage interfaces must implement the PointerSource trait. This issue serves as a collection issue for storage interfaces that we want to implement.

Storage Interfaces

Contributor guide

Research direction
Start by understanding the PointerSource trait in the existing codebase, then implement a simple storage interface like SQLite using the rusqlite crate. Follow the trait's method signatures and ensure all required methods are implemented. Test with the existing test suite.
