<h1>OtterSQL</h1>
<h3>🦦 An Embeddable SQL Executor in Rust</h3>

</div>
OtterSQL implements a generic intermediate code (IC) with an **instruction set** for tabular data operations. This IC can be used to make in-memory mocks of larger databases such as MySQL and SQLite. This IC is executed by the **OtterSQL VM**. This project also provides a frontend that compiles a generic dialect of SQL to the IC.
The primary goal for this project is to facilitate developers in testing their SQL-backed applications. The long term goal is to have an embeddable SQL VM for use in client-side applications.
Non-goals (for now): performance, concurrency, persistence, ACID compliance.
## Introduction
See [this blog post](#) for an introduction of OtterSQL.
## Using as a library
See [the crate documentation](https://docs.rs/otter-sql/latest).
## Features
### Currently implemented
- [x] `CREATE TABLE`/`CREATE SCHEMA`
- [x] `INSERT` values
- [x] Projection (`SELECT`ing specific columns)
- [x] Filter (`WHERE` clause of `SELECT`) with complex expressions
- [x] `LIMIT`
- [x] `ORDER BY`
### In-progress or in the near future
- [ ] `UPDATE`: execution
- [ ] Unions and Joins: execution
- [ ] Group by: execution
- [ ] Nested `SELECT`: codegen and execution
- [ ] Common table expressions (CTEs): codegen and execution
- [ ] Uphold table constraints: codegen and execution
### In the far future
- [ ] MySQL dialect and features
- [ ] SQLite dialect and features
