This PR adds a regex cache to `ProgramState` so that we ca re-use already constructed regexes while processing LIKE expressions. I didn't find anywhere else that seemed like a good fit to put an execution-time only cache like this, so let me know if there's a better spot. To best match sqlite, I added the constant mask into the `Function` instruction (this indicates whether the first argument to the function was determined to be constant at compile time), and decide whether to use the cache based on its value. I've left the value for `constant_mask` as 0 on every other kind of `Function` instruction. That seemed to be the safest choice, as that appears to be what has been implicitly done up to this point. Happy to change that if you'd advise otherwise. Fixes #168 Closes #320
Limbo
Limbo is a work-in-progress, in-process OLTP database management system, compatible with SQLite.
Features
- In-process OLTP database engine library
- Asynchronous I/O support with
io_uring - SQLite compatibility (status)
- SQL dialect support
- File format support
- SQLite C API
- JavaScript/WebAssembly bindings (wip)
Getting Started
Installing:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
https://github.com/penberg/limbo/releases/latest/download/limbo-installer.sh | sh
Limbo is currently work-in-progress so it's recommended that you either use the sqlite3 program to create a test database:
$ sqlite3 database.db
SQLite version 3.42.0 2023-05-16 12:36:15
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> CREATE TABLE users (id INT PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT);
sqlite> INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'alice');
sqlite> INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, 'bob');
or use the testing script to generate one for you:
pipenv run ./testing/gen-database.py
You can then start the Limbo shell with:
$ limbo database.db
Welcome to Limbo SQL shell!
> SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1;

FAQ
How is Limbo different from libSQL?
Limbo is a research project to build a SQLite compatible in-process database in Rust with native async support. The libSQL project, on the other hand, is an open source, open contribution fork of SQLite, with focus on production features such as replication, backups, encryption, and so on. There is no hard dependency between the two projects. Of course, if Limbo becomes widely successful, we might consider merging with libSQL, but that is something that will be decided in the future.
