Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by locating how the library handles datasource connections, then reproduce or assess changing between PostgreSQL, Redshift, and Snowflake when table structures match. Done would require a confirmed compatibility result and a clearly defined implementation or documentation scope.
