MagnumDB

Modern Open Source Embedded Database Engine in Native Rust

MagnumDB is an open-source embedded key-value and SQL database engine written 100% from scratch in native Rust. Designed for performance, reliability, and modularity.

Features

Embedded Engine: Runs directly inside Rust binaries with zero external C/C++ dependencies.
WAL Durability: Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) with TxID framing and CRC32 checksums ensures crash recovery.
B+ Tree Indexing: Custom 4KB page disk pager, LRU buffer pool management, overflow pages, and leaf page recycling.
Relational SQL Query Engine: Hash JOINs (INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN), GROUP BY & HAVING aggregations, ORDER BY sorting, LIMIT & OFFSET pagination, and composite indexes.
MVCC & Transactions: Thread-safe MVCC row headers (xmin, xmax) and transaction logging with BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK.
Authentication & RBAC: PostgreSQL-compatible MD5 authentication and CREATE USER role-based access control.
PostgreSQL Protocol & Extended Querying: Native PostgreSQL Wire Protocol (pgwire) supporting prepared statements and $1, $2 parameter binding (Parse, Bind, Execute).
Multi-Client TCP Server: Async TCP server powered by Tokio with connection limits and idle timeouts.

What's New in v0.4.2

Version 0.4.2 introduces Authentication, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and thread-safe MVCC concurrency:

🔒 Authentication Handshake: PostgreSQL-compatible MD5 password authentication over pgwire.
👤 CREATE USER DDL: Provision users and manage roles directly via SQL:
```
CREATE USER admin WITH PASSWORD 'secure_pass';
```
🧵 Thread-Safe MVCC: Safe, concurrent transaction execution using parking_lot::RwLock for multi-client scale.
↕️ ORDER BY, LIMIT, OFFSET: Sort and paginate query results.

Installation

Add MagnumDB to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
magnumdb = "0.4.2"

Quick Start (Embedded Key-Value)

use magnumdb::{Database, Config};

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let config = Config::default().with_path("./my_database");
    let mut db = Database::open(config)?;

    // Embedded Key-Value API
    db.put(b"user:100", b"Soham")?;
    let val = db.get(b"user:100")?;
    
    if let Some(bytes) = val {
        println!("Found: {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(&bytes));
    }

    db.close()?;
    Ok(())
}

Embedded SQL Usage

use magnumdb::{Database, Config};
use magnumdb::sql::{Executor, Parser};

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let config = Config::default().with_path("./sql_data");
    let mut db = Database::open(config)?;
    let mut exec = Executor::new(&mut db);

    exec.execute(Parser::parse("CREATE TABLE users(id INT, name TEXT)")?)?;
    exec.execute(Parser::parse("INSERT INTO users VALUES(1, 'Alice')")?)?;
    
    let res = exec.execute(Parser::parse("SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5")?)?;
    println!("{}", res);

    Ok(())
}
