I think the timeline looks fine. As they say though, no battle plans
survive first contact with the enemy. The same often applies with software
engineering; expect the unexpected, and expect to change plans and adapt.

One thought that did cross my mind; I wonder if the detection of the query
result type (e.g updateable vs. non-updateable) should be handled in a
backend function? It might be useful, and perhaps easier, to have that in
the server for possible reuse, and because you'll have direct access to
psycopg2 and the database connections there.
