rustdb 7.0.51

//! This crate (rustdb) implements a high-performance database written entirely in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
//!
//! The SQL-like language is relatively minimal, and does not (currently) include features such as joins or views.
//! Instead it has high performance SET .. FROM ... and FOR .. FROM statements to access database tables,
//! generally using an INDEX.
//!
//! Read-only transactions run immediately and concurrently on a virtual read-only copy of the database, and cannot be blocked.
//! Write transactions run sequentially (and should typically execute in around 100 micro-seconds). The [Storage] trait allows a variety of underlying storage, including [SimpleFileStorage], [MemFile] and [AtomicFile].
//!
//! Transactions that modify the database can be logged, which allows for database replication.

//!# Interface
//!
//! The method [DB::run] is called to execute an SQL query.
//! This takes a [Transaction] parameter which accumulates SELECT results and which also has methods
//! for accessing input parameters and controlling output. Custom builtin functions implement [CExp]
//! and have access to the transaction via an EvalEnv parameter, which can be downcast if necessary.
//!
//! It is also possible to access the table data directly, see email_loop in example program.   
//!
//!# Example
//! [See here](https://crates.io/crates/rustweb2) for an example program -
//! a webserver, with timed jobs, password hashing, data compression, email transmission and database replication.
//! Also has a Manual for the SQL-like language, user interface for database browsing/editing etc.
//!
//!# Features
//!
//! This crate supports the following cargo features:
//! - `gentrans` : enables [gentrans] module ( sample implementation of [Transaction] ).
//! - `serde` : enables serialisation of [GenQuery] via serde crate.
//! - `builtin` : Allows extra SQL builtin functions to be defined.
//! - `table` : Allow direct access to database tables.
//! - `max` : maximal interface, including internal modules (which may not be stable).
//! - `verify` : Allows database structure to be verified using builtin function VERIFYDB.
//! - `pack` : Allows database pages to be packed using builtin function REPACKFILE.
//! - `renumber` : Allows database pages to be renumbered using builtin function RENUMBER, eliminating free pages.
//! - `unsafe-optim` : Enable unsafe optimisations in release mode.
//! - `log` : Log "interesting" information about database operation (helps give an idea what is happening).
//! - `log-alloc` : Log memory allocation.
//!
//! By default, all features except serde, unsafe-optim, log and compact are enabled.
//!
//!# General Design of Database
//!
//! SortedFile stores fixed size Records in a tree of Pages.
//! SortedFile is used to implement:
//!
//! - Database Table storage. Each fixed size record has a 64-bit Id.
//!
//! - Variable length values which are split into fragments, although up to 249 bytes can be stored in the fixed size record.
//!
//! - Index storage - an index record refers back to the main table using the 64-bit Id.
//!
//! When a page becomes too big, it is split into two pages.
//!
//! Each page is implemented as a binary tree ( so there is a tree of trees ).
//!
//! [SharedPagedData] allows logical database pages to be shared to allow concurrent readers.
//!
//! [AtomicFile] ensures that database updates are all or nothing.
//!
//! The hierarchy overall: [Table] -> [SortedFile] -> [SharedPagedData] -> [PageStorage] -> [AtomicFile] -> [Storage].
//!
//!# Test example
//!
//! ```
//!     use rustdb::*;
//!     use std::sync::Arc;
//!     let stg = MemFile::new();
//!
//!     let spd = SharedPagedData::new(stg);
//!     let wapd = spd.new_writer();
//!
//!     let mut bmap = BuiltinMap::default();
//!     standard_builtins(&mut bmap);
//!     let bmap = Arc::new(bmap);
//!
//!     let db = Database::new(wapd, "", bmap);
//!     let mut tr = GenTransaction::default();
//!     let sql = "
//! CREATE SCHEMA test GO
//! CREATE TABLE test.Cust(Name string) GO
//! INSERT INTO test.Cust(Name) VALUES ('freddy')
//! SELECT Name FROM test.Cust
//! ";
//!     db.run(&sql, &mut tr);
//!     assert!( db.changed() );
//!     assert!( db.save() > 0 );
//!     assert!( tr.rp.output == b"freddy" );
//! ```
