This project uses SurrealDB as its database engine and we have been using a lightweight client: sdblpy = { git = "https://github.com/lfnovo/surreal-lite-py" }

We are now migrating to the official SurrealDB Python client (surrealdb).

The main difference is that surrealdb is a full SurrealDB client, while sdblpy is a lightweight client that only provides a subset of the features.

I have already prepared the new library helpers we will use at /Users/luisnovo/dev/projetos/open-notebook/open-notebook/open_notebook/database/new.py

There are 3 challenges with this project: 
 - The new library is an asynchronous library and most of our database code is based in sync operations. We need to decide how to handle this.
 - The old client has a pretty useful migration feature that we use in /Users/luisnovo/dev/projetos/open-notebook/open-notebook/open_notebook/database/migrate.py - we will need to find a way to inspect this feature and rewrite it for us to use
 - The new client doesn't need the clean function we use in /Users/luisnovo/dev/projetos/open-notebook/open-notebook/open_notebook/utils.py - surreal_clean - since it already handles its own cleaning when used correctly

This will be a pretty hefty refactoring, but it will be worth it in the end.
