One important detail: the `stat()` implementation actually lives in the **generic KV adapter** at `core/src/raw/adapters/kv/backend.rs`, not in the SQLite service itself [[1]](https://github.com/apache/opendal/blob/27d5677d4526519313cbce00cd28f8fbcc099642/core/src/raw/adapters/kv/backend.rs#L104-L118). This means the inefficiency affects **all** KV-backed services (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, RocksDB, etc.), not just SQLite. The good news is that [PR #7624](https://github.com/apache/opendal/pull/7624) already introduced `LENGTH()` usage in the **read path** for SQLite (using `SELECT SUBSTR(...), LENGTH(value_field)`), so there's an established pattern to follow. Extending this to `stat()` would be the natural next step. Since this is in the shared KV adapter layer, the cleanest fix would likely involve adding an optional `get_length`-style trait method (with a default fallback to `get` + `.len()`) that individual backends can override with efficient native queries (`LENGTH()` for SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL, `STRLEN` for Redis, etc.). That way all KV services benefit without breaking any that don't implement it. A PR using `get_length()` for the SQLite case sounds right — and it could potentially be generalized to the adapter trait level to benefit the other backends too. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fopendal).* --- Docs are dead.
