Quick Start

Add NIRV Engine to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

nirv-engine = "0.1.0"

Basic Usage

use nirv_engine::connectors::{SqlServerConnector, Connector, ConnectorInitConfig};
use nirv_engine::protocol::{SqlServerProtocol, ProtocolAdapter};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create and configure a SQL Server connector
    let mut connector = SqlServerConnector::new();
    
    let config = ConnectorInitConfig::new()
        .with_param("server", "localhost")
        .with_param("database", "mydb")
        .with_param("username", "user")
        .with_param("password", "password");
    
    // Connect to the database
    connector.connect(config).await?;
    
    // Create a protocol adapter for SQL Server simulation
    let protocol = SqlServerProtocol::new();
    
    println!("Connected to SQL Server!");
    println!("Connector type: {:?}", connector.get_connector_type());
    println!("Protocol type: {:?}", protocol.get_protocol_type());
    
    Ok(())
}

REST API Connector

use nirv_engine::connectors::{RestConnector, EndpointMapping};
use reqwest::Method;

let mut connector = RestConnector::new()
    .with_auth(AuthConfig::ApiKey {
        header: "X-API-Key".to_string(),
        key: "your-api-key".to_string(),
    })
    .with_cache_ttl(Duration::from_secs(300))
    .with_rate_limit(RateLimitConfig {
        requests_per_second: 10.0,
        burst_size: 20,
    });

// Add endpoint mapping
connector.add_endpoint_mapping("users".to_string(), EndpointMapping {
    path: "/api/users".to_string(),
    method: Method::GET,
    query_params: HashMap::new(),
    response_path: Some("data".to_string()),
    id_field: Some("id".to_string()),
});

Architecture

NIRV Engine follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

Components

  • Query Engine: Parses, plans, and executes queries across multiple data sources
  • Connectors: Provide data access abstractions for different data sources
  • Protocols: Handle wire-level communication protocols
  • Utilities: Common types, error handling, and configuration management

SQL Server Support

NIRV Engine provides comprehensive SQL Server support through:

TDS Protocol Implementation

  • TDS 7.4 protocol support
  • Authentication with SQL Server credentials
  • Query Execution with proper result formatting
  • Error Handling with SQL Server error codes
  • Data Types - Complete mapping of SQL Server types

Connector Features

  • Connection Management with connection pooling
  • Query Building with SQL Server-specific syntax
  • Schema Introspection via INFORMATION_SCHEMA
  • Transaction Support for ACID compliance
  • Prepared Statements for performance optimization

Example: SQL Server Integration

use nirv_engine::protocol::{SqlServerProtocol, Connection, Credentials};

// Create protocol adapter
let protocol = SqlServerProtocol::new();

// Simulate authentication
let credentials = Credentials::new("sa".to_string(), "master".to_string())
    .with_password("password".to_string());

let mut connection = Connection::new(stream, ProtocolType::SqlServer);
protocol.authenticate(&mut connection, credentials).await?;

// Parse TDS packets
let query = protocol.parse_message(&connection, &tds_packet).await?;
println!("Parsed SQL: {}", query.raw_query);
