The goal of this post is to measure the craziness of an idea to
embed a database engine into the D language ;)
I think about a database engine which would meet my three main
requirements:
- integrated with D (ranges)
- ACID
- fast
Since the days when I was working on financing data SW I become
allergic to SQL. I though that NoSQL databases would fill the
bill. Unfortunately they didn't. And I want to have an ability to
write a code like this without too much effort:
struct Person
{
string name;
string surname;
ubyte age;
Address address;
}
DataBase db = new DataBase("file.db");
auto coll = db.collection!Person("NSA.Registry");
auto visitationList = coll.filter!(p => p.name == "James");
writeln (visitationList);
And other things like updating and deleting from db. I think you
get my point.
So I started a PoC project based on SQLite design:

The PoC code:

Can you please share your thoughts and experience on the topic?
Has anyone tried similar things?
