<p><em>A tiny yet serious SQL database in Rust — simple, modular, pragmatic.</em></p>
</div>
## ✨ Highlights
- **Clean architecture**: SQL → Logical Plan → Physical Plan → Volcano executor
- **Transaction control**: `BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK`, `SET TRANSACTION`, `SET SESSION TRANSACTION`, enforced `READ ONLY`, row/table locks
- **B+Tree index**: OLC readers, B-link pages, latch crabbing, range scan iterator
- **Buffer manager**: LRU-K + TinyLFU, WAL-aware dirty tracking, prefetch API, background writer
- **Asynchronous storage**: Dispatcher + io_uring worker pool for data pages, plus a buffered WAL runtime with cached segment handles for sequential log I/O
- **Streaming / Prefetch**: Large sequential scans bypass the cache via a small direct I/O ring buffer; targeted prefetch warms hot paths without pins
- **WAL & Recovery (ARIES-inspired)**: FPW + PageDelta, DPT, chained CLR, per-transaction undo chains, idempotent replays
- **Information schema**: `information_schema.schemas`, `tables`, `columns`, `indexes`
- **Docs**: [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) · [Buffer Pool](docs/buffer_pool.md) · [B+ Tree Index](docs/btree_index.md) · [Disk I/O](docs/disk_io.md) · [WAL & Recovery](docs/wal.md) · [Transactions](docs/transactions.md)

## Demo
<div align="center">
<img src="/public/terminal-preview.svg" alt="QuillSQL Web Terminal" width="720"/>
<p><em>Built-in web TTY — commands mirror our SQL test suite.</em></p>
</div>
- Run `cargo run --bin server` and open http://127.0.0.1:8080
- Commands: `help`, `docs`, `doc <name>`, `examples`, `example <name>`, `github`, `profile`
- Example scripts are pulled straight from `src/tests/sql_example/`

## 🎓 Teaching & Research Friendly
- Clear module boundaries, suitable for classroom assignments and research prototypes. Inspired by CMU 15-445 BusTub with strengthened WAL/Recovery, observability, and centralized configuration.
- Pluggable pieces: buffer pool, index, WAL, and recovery are decoupled for side-by-side experiments.
- Readability-first: simple, pragmatic code with minimal hot-path allocations.
## 🚀 Quick Start
```bash
cargo run --bin client
# or open a persistent DB file
cargo run --bin client -- --file my.db
# start web server (http://127.0.0.1:8080)
cargo run --bin server
# specify data file and listening addr
QUILL_DB_FILE=my.db QUILL_HTTP_ADDR=0.0.0.0:8080 cargo run --bin server --release
# batch API (optional)
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/sql_batch -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"sql": "SHOW TABLES; EXPLAIN SELECT 1;"}'
```
Sample session:
```sql
CREATE TABLE t(id INT, v INT DEFAULT 0);
INSERT INTO t(id, v) VALUES (1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30);
SELECT id, v FROM t WHERE v > 10 ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;
SHOW DATABASES;
SHOW TABLES;
EXPLAIN SELECT id, COUNT(*) FROM t GROUP BY id ORDER BY id;
```
## 🧱 Supported SQL
- **Data types**
- `BOOLEAN`, `INT8/16/32/64`, `UINT8/16/32/64`, `FLOAT32/64`, `VARCHAR(n)`
- **CREATE TABLE**
- Column options: `NOT NULL` | `DEFAULT <literal>`
- Example:
```sql
CREATE TABLE t(
id INT64 NOT NULL,
v INT32 DEFAULT 0
);
```
- **CREATE INDEX**
- Example:
```sql
CREATE INDEX idx_t_id ON t(id);
```
- **DROP**
- `DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] <name>`
- `DROP INDEX [IF EXISTS] <name>`
- Example:
```sql
DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_orders_user_id;
DROP TABLE orders;
```
- **INSERT**
- `INSERT INTO ... VALUES (...)` and `INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...`
- **SELECT**
- Projection: columns, literals, aliases
- FROM: table | subquery (`FROM (SELECT ...)`) — alias not yet supported
- WHERE: comparison/logical operators `= != > >= < <= AND OR`
- GROUP BY: aggregates `COUNT(expr|*)`, `AVG(expr)`
- ORDER BY: `ASC|DESC`, supports `NULLS FIRST|LAST`
- LIMIT/OFFSET
- JOIN: `INNER JOIN` (with `ON` condition), `CROSS JOIN`
- **UPDATE**
- `UPDATE t SET col = expr [, ...] [WHERE predicate]`
- **DELETE**
- `DELETE FROM t [WHERE predicate]`
- **SHOW**
- `SHOW DATABASES;` (rewritten to `SELECT schema FROM information_schema.schemas`)
- `SHOW TABLES;` (rewritten to `SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables`)
- **EXPLAIN**
- `EXPLAIN <statement>` returns a single column named `plan` with multiple lines showing the logical plan tree
## ⚠️ Current Limitations
- Not yet supported: `ALTER`, MVCC, predicate locking.
- Not implemented: outer joins (Left/Right/Full), arithmetic expressions, table/subquery aliases
- `ORDER BY` `DESC` / `NULLS FIRST|LAST` currently affects sorting only (not storage layout)
- Storage uses Linux `io_uring`; non-Linux platforms currently require a fallback backend (planned).
## 🧪 Testing
```bash
cargo test -q
```
## 📊 Benchmark Skeleton
1. 占位版 `mini_tpcc` / `mini_tpch` / `chbench` workload
2. `cargo bench --bench tpc`:产出 Criterion 报告(若要对比 SQLite,请在环境中安装 `sqlite3` CLI)
3. 数据位于 `target/criterion/...`
## 🔧 Performance Toolkit
- `scripts/perf/capture.sh`: scaffold for perf/eBPF trace collection.
- `scripts/perf/process.sh`: placeholder for flamegraph/post-processing pipeline.
- `docs/perf_playbook.md`: living guide for profiling workflow and bottleneck annotations.
## ⚙️ Configuration
Minimal environment variables (runtime only)
- PORT: bind port (overrides the port of `QUILL_HTTP_ADDR`)
- QUILL_HTTP_ADDR: listen address (default `0.0.0.0:8080`)
- QUILL_DB_FILE: path to database file (uses a temp DB if unset)
- QUILL_DEFAULT_ISOLATION: default session isolation (`read-uncommitted`, `read-committed`, `repeatable-read`, `serializable`)
- RUST_LOG: log level (e.g., info, debug)
Programmatic options live in `quillsql::config` (see docs) — build `DatabaseOptions` with `WalOptions`, `BufferPoolConfig`, `BTreeConfig`, `TableScanConfig`, etc., and pass into `Database::new_*_with_options`. Examples in the docs remain unchanged.
## 📦 Docker
```bash
# build
docker build -t quillsql:latest .
# run (ephemeral in-memory DB)
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 quillsql:latest
# run with persistent file mounted
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -e QUILL_DB_FILE=/data/my.db -v $(pwd)/data:/data quillsql:latest
```
