Description
We are not in a position to support all the different databases out there.
But of course, we still want people to enable to use these databases.
Therefore we should create infrastructure that allows external contributors to run integration tests for their dialects, that give them good confidence that stuff actually works.
This infrastructure might also host a list of externally provided dialects.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing dialect integration-test setup and determine how an external contributor could run it; done means external dialect contributors can obtain meaningful integration-test confidence, with an externally provided dialect list if that remains in scope.
