GlueSQL

SQL Database Engine as a Library

GlueSQL is a SQL database library written in Rust.
It provides a parser (sqlparser-rs), execution layer, and optional storages (sled or memory) packaged into a single library.
Developers can choose to use GlueSQL to build their own SQL database, or as an embedded SQL database using the default storage engine.

Standalone Mode

You can use GlueSQL as an embedded SQL database.
GlueSQL provides two reference storage options.

• SledStorage - Persistent storage engine based on sled
• MemoryStorage - Non-persistent storage engine based on BTreeMap

Installation

• Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
gluesql = "0.11"

• CLI application

$ cargo install gluesql

Usage

use gluesql::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let storage = SledStorage::new("data/doc-db").unwrap();
    let mut glue = Glue::new(storage);
    let sqls = vec![
        "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Glue;",
        "CREATE TABLE Glue (id INTEGER);",
        "INSERT INTO Glue VALUES (100);",
        "INSERT INTO Glue VALUES (200);",
        "SELECT * FROM Glue WHERE id > 100;",
    ];

    for sql in sqls {
        let output = glue.execute(sql).unwrap();
        println!("{:?}", output)
    }
}

SQL Library Mode (For Custom Storage)

Installation

sled-storage and memory-storage features are optional, so these are not required for custom storage makers.

[dependencies.gluesql]
version = "0.11"
default-features = false
features = ["alter-table", "index", "transaction", "metadata"]

Four features below are also optional

• alter-table - ALTER TABLE query support
• index - CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX, index support
• transaction - BEGIN, ROLLBACK and COMMIT, transaction support
• metadata - SHOW TABLES and SHOW VERSION support

Usage

Two mandatory store traits to implement

• Store & StoreMut

pub trait Store<T: Debug> {
    async fn fetch_schema(..) -> ..;
    async fn scan_data(..) -> ..;
}

pub trait StoreMut<T: Debug> where Self: Sized {
    async fn insert_schema(..) -> ..;
    async fn delete_schema(..) -> ..;
    async fn insert_data(..) -> ..;
    async fn update_data(..) -> ..;
    async fn delete_data(..) -> ..;
}

Optional store traits

• AlterTable, Index & IndexMut, Transaction and Metadata

pub trait AlterTable where Self: Sized {
    async fn rename_schema(..) -> ..;
    async fn rename_column(..) -> ..;
    async fn add_column(..) -> ..;
    async fn drop_column(..) -> ..;
}

pub trait Index<T: Debug> {
    async fn scan_indexed_data(..) -> ..;
}

pub trait IndexMut<T: Debug> where Self: Sized {
    async fn create_index(..) -> ..;
    async fn drop_index(..) -> ..;
}

pub trait Transaction where Self: Sized {
    async fn begin(..) -> ..;
    async fn rollback(..) -> ..;
    async fn commit(..) -> ..;
}

pub trait Metadata {
    fn version(..) -> String;
    async fn schema_names(..) -> ..;
}

GlueSQL.js

GlueSQL.js is a SQL database for web browsers and Node.js. It works as an embedded database and entirely runs in the browser. GlueSQL.js supports in-memory storage backend, but it will soon to have localStorage, sessionStorage and indexedDB backend supports.

SQL Features

GlueSQL currently supports a limited subset of queries. It's being actively developed.

Data Types

• Numeric INT(8), INT(16), INT(32), INT(64), INT(128), INTEGER, FLOAT, DECIMAL
• Date DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIME INTERVAL
• BOOLEAN, TEXT, UUID, MAP, LIST

Queries

• CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE
• ALTER TABLE - ADD COLUMN, DROP COLUMN, RENAME COLUMN and RENAME TO.
• CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX
• INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT
• GROUP BY, HAVING
• ORDER BY
• Transaction queries: BEGIN, ROLLBACK and COMMIT
• Nested select, join, aggregations ...

You can see tests for the currently supported queries in test-suite/src/*.

Contribution

There are a few simple rules to follow.

• No mut keywords in the core workspace (except glue.rs).
• Every error must have corresponding integration test cases to generate.
  (except for Unreachable- and Conflict- error types)
