@mrfunnyshoes I have no idea how we missed this. Sorry for the delay! 🙏.

Is there like any demo database we can use to test this on? If not I'll just create one my own. Would it be possible to add some tests as well?

Hey @mrfunnyshoes

First of all, this is really great work! Thank you for taking the time to build this and we apologise for not being able to take a look at this earlier.

While this is certainly a super useful source plugin, whether this should live in the gatsby repo or not is a subject that we've discussed. The conclusion we came to is that we would prefer to not include this in the core repo because:

• It's a large and complex plugin that will be hard to maintain
• There are simpler alternatives to GraphQL-izing SQL databases (like Prisma and Hasura for instance)

Because of the above, I'll be closing this for now but urge you to publish this in your own repo for everyone that would undeniably find this useful.

Please know that we really value having you as a contributor and look forward to having you on board for more PRs in the future! Thank you once again 💪 💜
