SQL as a Function for Rust
Introduction
KiteSQL is a lightweight embedded database inspired by MyRocks and SQLite and completely coded in Rust. It aims to provide a more user-friendly, lightweight, and low-loss RDBMS for Rust programming so that the APP does not rely on other complex components. It can perform complex relational data operations.
Key Features
- A lightweight embedded SQL database fully rewritten in Rust
- Higher write speed, more user-friendly API
- All metadata and actual data in KV Storage, and there is no state component (e.g. system table) in the middle
- Supports extending storage for customized workloads
- Supports most of the SQL 2016 syntax
- Ships a WebAssembly build for JavaScript runtimes

WebAssembly
- Build:
wasm-pack build --release --target nodejs(outputs to./pkg; use--target webor--target bundlerfor browser/bundler setups). - Usage:
import { WasmDatabase } from "./pkg/kite_sql.js";
const db = new WasmDatabase();
await db.execute("create table demo(id int primary key, v int)");
await db.execute("insert into demo values (1, 2), (2, 4)");
const rows = db.run("select * from demo").rows();
console.log(rows.map((r) => r.values.map((v) => v.Int32 ?? v)));
- In Node.js, provide a small
localStorageshim if you enable statistics-related features (seeexamples/wasm_index_usage.test.mjs).
Examples
use kite_sql::db::{DataBaseBuilder, ResultIter};
let kite_sql = DataBaseBuilder::path("./data").build()?;
kite_sql
.run("create table if not exists t1 (c1 int primary key, c2 int)")?
.done()?;
kite_sql
.run("insert into t1 values(0, 0), (1, 1)")?
.done()?;
let mut iter = kite_sql.run("select * from t1")?;
// Query schema is available on every result iterator.
let column_names: Vec<_> = iter.schema().iter().map(|c| c.name()).collect();
println!("columns: {column_names:?}");
for tuple in iter {
println!("{:?}", tuple?);
}
