Rust-SQLite (SQLRite)

Rust-SQLite, aka SQLRite , is a simple embedded database modeled off SQLite, but developed with Rust. The goal is get a better understanding of database internals by building one.

What would SQLite look like if written in Rust?

• Part 1 - Understanding SQLite and Setting up CLI Application and REPL
• Part 2 - SQL Statement and Meta Commands Parser + Error Handling

Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Rust (latest stable) – (How to install Rust)[https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html]

Usage (TBD)

> ./rust_sqlite -- help
Rust-SQLite 0.1.0
Joao Henrique Machado Silva <[email protected]>
Light version of SQLite developed with Rust

USAGE:
    rust_sqlite

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

Project Progress

Not checked means I am currently working on.

• CLI and REPL Interface
• Parse meta commands and sql commands.
• Execute simple commands
• Standarized error handling
• Generic validation structure for SQL Commands.
• Create Table Command
• Improve error handling with https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror
• Simple INSERT queries command parsing.
• Serialization | Deserialization to and from binary encodings (Investigating).

Roadmap

Features that are in the roadmap of the project:

Ideally in order of priority, but nothing set in stone.

• In memory BTreeMap indexes initially only for PRIMARY KEYS.
• Simple SELECT queries (Single WHERE clause and no JOINS).
• Storage engine.
  • Maybe use https://github.com/spacejam/sled
• Implement Open command to load database with a command .open
• UNIQUE key constraints.
• Joins
  • INNER JOIN (or sometimes called simple join)
  • LEFT OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called LEFT JOIN)
  • CROSS JOIN
  • The RIGHT OUTER JOIN and FULL OUTER JOIN are not supported in SQLite.
• Pager Module
  • Implementing transactional ACID properties
  • Concurrency
  • Lock Manager
• Indexing - cost and performance gain analysis
• Benchmarking vs SQLite for comparison
• Server Client / Connection Manager
• Different implementations of storage engines and data structures to optimize for different scenarios
  • Write Heavy - LSM Tree && SSTable
  • Read Heavy - B-Tree
