Dolt is a SQL database that adds Git‑style version control to tables and schemas. It provides a MySQL‑compatible server and a Git‑like command‑line interface for branching, merging, and collaborating on data.

Use cases

• track changes to database tables over time with commit history
• collaborate on data projects using Git‑style branching and merging
• branch and merge data sets for experimental analysis
• store CSV or other flat‑file data and query it with full version history
• integrate data versioning into CI/CD pipelines for reproducible data pipelines
• enable multi‑agent or multi‑machine workflows that require a versioned data store
• audit and roll back data modifications in regulated environments

When to choose

• When you need built‑in version control for relational data
• If your team already uses Git and wants the same workflow for data
• When you want a SQL database that can be forked, cloned, and merged like code
• If you need to keep a full history of data changes for auditing or reproducibility

When to avoid

• For high‑throughput transactional workloads where raw performance is critical
• If you do not require data versioning and prefer a traditional RDBMS
• When operating at massive scale where specialized distributed databases are needed
• If you need advanced features like stored procedures specific to other RDBMS engines
