You might take a look at ebib, which is something like this for bibtex
files (also a plain text db). You can bend bibtex into being a database,
with custom entry types. What ebib does for bibtex might also be
possible for recutils too.
Similarly, bbdb offered an emacsy interface to a database of
I don't know if this is useful. But this is what I could come up with. This
might at least motivate somebody to think of other possible advantages/uses of
building org-mode capabilities to interact with databases.

Yes, that would probably be useful.

org-ql (https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql) is also quite good for this

Here is even a database like query to find the heading, and EMAIL property

You might want to look at recutils instead.

Would you think that an extension of org-collector is the direction to look at?
Doesn't look like org-collector has seen any updates in a long time.

You might want to look at `org-map-entries'.
I don't know if I have missed something obvious. But I am trying to read
all the properties data (key-value pairs) into an R source code block
(essentially to gather into a data.frame before further processing).
I thought properties would be a neat way to put together a small database,
and then
