Adds support for `UNION ALL` and introduces `Plan::CompoundSelect` so
that it can be extended to support `UNION/EXCEPT/INTERSECT` as well
```sql
do_execsql_test_on_specific_db {:memory:} select-union-all-1 {
CREATE TABLE t1(x INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE t2(x INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE t3(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(1),(2),(3);
INSERT INTO t2 VALUES(4),(5),(6);
INSERT INTO t3 VALUES(7),(8),(9);
SELECT x FROM t1
UNION ALL
SELECT x FROM t2
UNION ALL
SELECT x FROM t3;
} {1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9}
do_execsql_test_on_specific_db {:memory:} select-union-all-with-filters {
CREATE TABLE t4(x INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE t5(x INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE t6(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO t4 VALUES(1),(2),(3),(4);
INSERT INTO t5 VALUES(5),(6),(7),(8);
INSERT INTO t6 VALUES(9),(10),(11),(12);
SELECT x FROM t4 WHERE x > 2
UNION ALL
SELECT x FROM t5 WHERE x < 7
UNION ALL
SELECT x FROM t6 WHERE x = 10;
} {3
4
5
6
10}
```
Supports LIMIT. Currently does not support `WITH()`, `OFFSET` or `ORDER
BY` and explicitly returns a parse error if those are present.
Closes #1541
Project Limbo
Limbo is a project to build the modern evolution of SQLite.
Features and Roadmap
Limbo is a work-in-progress, in-process OLTP database engine library written in Rust that has:
- Asynchronous I/O support on Linux with
io_uring - SQLite compatibility [doc] for SQL dialect, file formats, and the C API
- Language bindings for JavaScript/WebAssembly, Rust, Go, Python, and Java
- OS support for Linux, macOS, and Windows
In the future, we will be also working on:
- Integrated vector search for embeddings and vector similarity.
BEGIN CONCURRENTfor improved write throughput.- Improved schema management including better
ALTERsupport and strict column types by default.
Getting Started
💻 Command Line
You can install the latest `limbo` release with:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
https://github.com/tursodatabase/limbo/releases/latest/download/limbo_cli-installer.sh | sh
Then launch the shell to execute SQL statements:
Limbo
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database
limbo> CREATE TABLE users (id INT PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT);
limbo> INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'alice');
limbo> INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, 'bob');
limbo> SELECT * FROM users;
1|alice
2|bob
You can also build and run the latest development version with:
cargo run
🦀 Rust
cargo add limbo
Example usage:
let db = Builder::new_local("sqlite.db").build().await?;
let conn = db.connect()?;
let res = conn.query("SELECT * FROM users", ()).await?;
✨ JavaScript
npm i limbo-wasm
Example usage:
import { Database } from 'limbo-wasm';
const db = new Database('sqlite.db');
const stmt = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users');
const users = stmt.all();
console.log(users);
🐍 Python
pip install pylimbo
Example usage:
import limbo
con = limbo.connect("sqlite.db")
cur = con.cursor()
res = cur.execute("SELECT * FROM users")
print(res.fetchone())
🐹 Go
- Clone the repository
- Build the library and set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include limbo's target directory
cargo build --package limbo-go
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/limbo/target/debug:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- Use the driver
go get github.com/tursodatabase/limbo
go install github.com/tursodatabase/limbo
Example usage:
import (
"database/sql"
_ "github.com/tursodatabase/limbo"
)
conn, _ = sql.Open("sqlite3", "sqlite.db")
defer conn.Close()
stmt, _ := conn.Prepare("select * from users")
defer stmt.Close()
rows, _ = stmt.Query()
for rows.Next() {
var id int
var username string
_ := rows.Scan(&id, &username)
fmt.Printf("User: ID: %d, Username: %s\n", id, username)
}
☕️ Java
We integrated Limbo into JDBC. For detailed instructions on how to use Limbo with java, please refer to the README.md under bindings/java.

FAQ
How is Limbo different from Turso's libSQL?
Limbo is a project to build the modern evolution of SQLite in Rust, with a strong open contribution focus and features like native async support, vector search, and more. The libSQL project is also an attempt to evolve SQLite in a similar direction, but through a fork rather than a rewrite.
Rewriting SQLite in Rust started as an unassuming experiment, and due to its incredible success, replaces libSQL as our intended direction. At this point, libSQL is production ready, Limbo is not - although it is evolving rapidly. As the project starts to near production readiness, we plan to rename it to just "Turso". More details here.
