# MiniSQL
## Installation
## Project Structure
- `client` - REPL client for connecting to the server
- `server` - MiniSQL server
- `minisql` - SQL AST interpreter
- `parser` - SQL parser
- `proto` - Implementation of subset of PostgreSQL protocol
## Requirements
- Rust + Cargo with version **>= 1.74.0** (using `impl` in return statements)
- Optional: `psql` cli for testing the server
# Usage
## Running the server
```bash
cargo run -p server -- [OPTIONS] --file <FILE>
```
git clone git@gitlab.fi.muni.cz:x433485/minisql.git
```
Options:
-a, --address <ADDRESS> IP address for the server to listen on [default: 127.0.0.1]
-p, --port <PORT> Port for the server to listen on [default: 5432]
-f, --file <FILE> Path to the data file
-h, --help Print help
```
This will start the server listening on `<ADDRESS>:<PORT>` and load the state from `<FILE>`.
If the `<FILE>` does not exist, it will be created.
### Demo Database
A database with demo data is available in `demo.json`. To run the server with this database, use:
```bash
cargo run -p server -- --file demo.json
```
This database contains two tables:
- Table `users` with columns `id`, `name`, `surname`, `email`
- Table `cars` with columns `id`, `vid`, `brand`, `model`, `year`
## Running the client
```bash
cargo run -p client -- [OPTIONS]
```
```
Options:
-p, --port <PORT> Port number of the server [default: 5432]
--host <HOST> Host name or IP address of the server [default: 127.0.0.1]
--username <USERNAME> User name [default: "minisql user"]
-h, --help Print help
```
This will start a REPL client that connects to the server at `<HOST>:<PORT>` and authorizes with `<USERNAME>`.
SQL queries can be entered line by line. The client will print the result of each query.
To exit the REPL client, enter `exit` or `quit`.
# Features
-
- SQL must be on single line, in **UPPERCASE** and end with `;`, as it should be
- Supported operations: `CREATE TABLE`, `CREATE INDEX`, `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `DELETE`
- Supported data types: `UUID`, `STRING`, `INT`, `NUMBER`
- Supported subset of PostgreSQL protocol, without authentication and simple query flow
## Operations
### `CREATE TABLE`
- Every table requires one column with type `UUID` as `PRIMARY KEY`
```sql
CREATE TABLE <TableName> (<ColumnName> <DataType>, ...);
```
### `CREATE INDEX`
- Indexing is not supported for the `NUMBER` data type
```sql
CREATE INDEX <IndexName> ON <TableName> (<ColumnName>);
```
### `SELECT`
- `WHERE` clause is optional and only equality is supported
- All columns can be selected with `*`
```sql
SELECT <ColumnName>, ... FROM <TableName> [WHERE <ColumnName> = <Value>];
```
### `INSERT`
```sql
INSERT INTO <TableName> (<ColumnName>, ...) VALUES (<Value>, ...);
```
### `DELETE`
- `WHERE` clause is optional and only equality is supported
```sql
DELETE FROM <TableName> [WHERE <ColumnName> = <Value>];
```
## Data Types
- `UUID` - special integer prefixed with `u`, e.g. `u12345`
- `STRING` - string enclosed in double quotes, e.g. `"Hello World"`
- `INT` - integer, e.g. `12345`
- `NUMBER` - floating point number, e.g. `123.45`
## Testing with `psql`
Thanks to the subset of PostgreSQL protocol implemented in `proto`, the server can be tested with `psql`,
which offers REPL client similar to the `client` crate:
```bash
psql -h <HOST> -p <PORT>
```
