MainyDB 1.0.2

A lightweight, embedded MongoDB-like database in a single file

MainyDB

MainyDB is an ultra-fast, embedded MongoDB-like database in a single .mdb file. It provides a PyMongo-compatible API, allowing you to use MongoDB-style queries, updates, and aggregations in a lightweight, file-based database.

Features

• Single File Storage: All data is stored in a single .mdb file
• PyMongo-Compatible API: Use the same API as PyMongo for seamless integration
• JSON-like Document Storage: Store and query JSON-like documents (Python dictionaries)
• Full MongoDB Query Support: Includes comparison, logical, array, and update operators
• Aggregation Pipeline: Perform complex data transformations with MongoDB-style aggregation pipelines
• In-Memory Indexes: Fast queries with automatic indexing
• Asynchronous File Writing: Non-blocking operations for better performance
• Thread-Safe: Concurrent access with proper locking mechanisms
• Media Support: Store and retrieve images and videos with automatic base64 encoding/decoding
• Media Caching: Automatic caching of decoded media for 2 hours

Installation

pip install MainyDB

La libreria è disponibile anche su PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/MainyDB/

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dddevid/MainyDB.git

# Install dependencies
cd MainyDB
pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

from MainyDB import MainyDB

# Create or open a database
db = MainyDB("my_database.mdb")

# Get a collection (creates it if it doesn't exist)
users = db.myapp.users

# Insert a document
user_id = users.insert_one({
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "[e-mail]",
    "age": 30
}).inserted_id

# Find documents
for user in users.find({"age": {"$gt": 25}}):
    print(f"{user['name']}: {user['email']}")

# Update a document
users.update_one(
    {"_id": user_id},
    {"$set": {"age": 31}}
)

# Delete a document
users.delete_one({"email": "[e-mail]"})

# Close the database when done
db.close()

PyMongo Compatibility Mode

MainyDB can be used as a drop-in replacement for PyMongo:

from MainyDB import MongoClient

# Connect to a "server" (actually uses the file-based database)
client = MongoClient()

# Get a database
db = client.myapp

# Get a collection
users = db.users

# Use the same PyMongo API
users.insert_one({"name": "Jane Smith"})

Query Operators

MainyDB supports all standard MongoDB query operators:

Comparison Operators

• $eq: Equals
• $ne: Not equals
• $gt: Greater than
• $gte: Greater than or equal
• $lt: Less than
• $lte: Less than or equal
• $in: In array
• $nin: Not in array

Logical Operators

• $and: Logical AND
• $or: Logical OR
• $not: Logical NOT
• $nor: Logical NOR

Array Operators

• $all: All elements match
• $elemMatch: Element matches
• $size: Array size

Update Operators

• $set: Sets field values
• $unset: Removes fields
• $inc: Increments field values
• $mul: Multiplies field values
• $rename: Renames fields
• $min: Updates if value is less than current
• $max: Updates if value is greater than current
• $currentDate: Sets field to current date
• $push: Adds elements to arrays
• $pop: Removes first or last element from arrays
• $pull: Removes elements from arrays
• $pullAll: Removes all matching elements from arrays
• $addToSet: Adds elements to arrays if they don't exist

Aggregation Pipeline

MainyDB supports MongoDB-style aggregation pipelines with stages like:

• $match: Filters documents
• $project: Reshapes documents
• $group: Groups documents
• $sort: Sorts documents
• $limit: Limits number of documents
• $skip: Skips documents
• $unwind: Deconstructs arrays
• $addFields: Adds fields
• $lookup: Performs a left outer join
• $count: Counts documents

Media Handling

MainyDB can store and retrieve binary data like images and videos:

# Store an image
with open("image.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_data = f.read()
    
media = db.myapp.media
media.insert_one({
    "name": "profile_pic.jpg",
    "data": image_data  # Automatically encoded as base64
})

# Retrieve the image
stored_media = media.find_one({"name": "profile_pic.jpg"})
image_data = stored_media["data"]  # Automatically decoded from base64

# Save the image
with open("retrieved_image.jpg", "wb") as f:
    f.write(image_data)

Direct Image Upload (file path)

• Puoi caricare immagini passando direttamente una stringa di percorso file; MainyDB legge il file, lo salva in base64 e alla lettura restituisce bytes.
• Estensioni supportate: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .tiff, .heic, .gif.

# Insert da percorso file (l'immagine viene memorizzata come base64 internamente)
images = db.myapp.images
res = images.insert_one({
    "name": "logo",
    "image": "./assets/logo.png"  # percorso verso un file immagine esistente
})

# Lettura: vengono restituiti bytes (non una stringa base64)
logo_doc = images.find_one({"name": "logo"})
logo_bytes = logo_doc["image"]
with open("retrieved_logo.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(logo_bytes)

Thread Safety

MainyDB is thread-safe and can be accessed from multiple threads:

import threading

def update_counter(thread_id):
    for i in range(1000):
        # Atomic update operation
        counters.update_one(
            {"_id": "counter1"}, 
            {"$inc": {"value": 1}}
        )

# Create threads
threads = []
for i in range(10):
    thread = threading.Thread(target=update_counter, args=(i,))
    threads.append(thread)
    thread.start()

# Wait for all threads to complete
for thread in threads:
    thread.join()

Examples

See the examples directory for more detailed examples:

• basic_usage.py: Basic CRUD operations
• advanced_usage.py: Advanced queries, aggregations, and concurrency

Stress Test

Sono disponibili script di stresstest nella cartella tests/stress. Ogni script è eseguibile direttamente:

# Inserimenti massivi e throughput
python tests/stress/stress_large_insert.py

# Concorrenza lettura/scrittura con più thread
python tests/stress/stress_concurrent_rw.py

# Mix di operazioni CRUD, proiezioni, skip/limit e aggregazioni
python tests/stress/stress_mixed_operations.py

# Stress su indici (singoli e compositi) e query mirate
python tests/stress/stress_indexing.py

Note:

• Gli script usano un database temporaneo e non modificano file esistenti.
• Gli output stampano riassunti (tempo, operazioni/secondo, conteggi) e includono assert per la correttezza di base.
• Esegui gli script dalla radice del progetto (e:\Progetti\MainyDB).
