Build your own SQLite in Rust, Part 5: Evaluating queries

This is a really cool set of articles, and while it’s not going to replace sqlite it’s fantastic to see the pieces needed to do sql with SQLite’s file format

I wish someone would finish a decent database in Rust. At least get it to 1.0 stable and go on from there.

- Limbo: "Limbo is a work-in-progress..."

- Sled [1]. Not sure what's going on there. Last release 3 years ago, but a constant stream of "alpha" versions that never get released.

SQLite with Rust bindings seems to be the go-to system. Depending on C packages is often a headache when cross-compiling, though.

Making a basic database that works is not hard, but making a robust one is really hard. What makes SQLite shines is its extensive testsuite. I still don't understand the motivation of limbo, as without years of hardwork on test you can't say you are correct, and why i should pay for it...
