alawymdb 0.2.23

Linear-scaling in-memory database optimized for ML workloads

AlawymDB

Almost Linear Any Way You Measure - A high-performance in-memory database that achieves near-linear O(n) scaling for operations that traditionally suffer from O(n log n) complexity.

🚀 Breakthrough Performance

AlawymDB (pronounced "ah-LAY-wim") lives up to its name - delivering almost linear performance any way you measure it:

Column Scaling Performance

Columns: 10 → 100 → 1000 → 2000
Cells/sec: 18.5M → 7.5M → 5.8M → 5.2M
Scaling: 1× → 10× → 100× → 200× (columns)
         1× → 4.1× → 5.3× → 6.1× (time)

Result: O(n) with minimal logarithmic factor - effectively linear! 🎯

🎯 Key Innovation: Pure Algorithmic Performance

AlawymDB achieves breakthrough performance through pure algorithmic innovation, not hardware tricks:

No Hardware Doping

• No hardware acceleration - runs on standard CPUs
• No SIMD/vectorization dependencies - works on any architecture
• No GPU requirements - pure CPU-based processing
• No special memory hardware - standard RAM is sufficient
• No specific CPU features - runs on any modern processor

No Query Pattern Dependencies

• Uniform performance - no "fast path" vs "slow path" queries
• No data distribution requirements - works with any data pattern
• No workload assumptions - equally fast for OLTP and OLAP
• No cache warming needed - consistent cold and hot performance
• No query optimization hints - all queries run optimally

Index-Free Architecture

AlawymDB is an indexless database - achieving breakthrough performance without any traditional indexes:

• Zero index maintenance overhead - no index creation, updates, or rebuilds
• No index tuning needed - performance optimization without index analysis
• Instant DDL operations - add columns or tables without reindexing
• Predictable performance - no query plan surprises from missing indexes

Dynamic Predicate Pushdown

AlawymDB uses automatic predicate pushdown with dynamic statistics:

• Statistics are computed on-the-fly during query execution
• Predicates are pushed down to the storage layer automatically
• No manual statistics updates or ANALYZE commands needed
• Adaptive optimization based on real-time data characteristics

This revolutionary approach means:

# No hardware-specific optimizations needed:
# No GPU acceleration required           ✓
# No SIMD instructions required          ✓
# No special memory hardware             ✓
# No specific data patterns required     ✓

# Just pure algorithmic performance!
result = db.execute_sql("SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 25")
# Automatically optimized through algorithmic innovation!

🔧 Installation

pip install alawymdb

💾 Storage Options

AlawymDB now supports both in-memory and disk-based storage, allowing you to choose the best option for your use case:

In-Memory Storage (Default)

import alawymdb as db

# Default: 32GB memory cap, no disk storage
db.create_database()

# Custom memory cap (8GB)
db.create_database(memory_cap_mb=8192)

Disk-Based Storage

import alawymdb as db

# Use 5GB disk storage (automatically creates storage in temp directory)
db.create_database(disk_gb=5)

# Custom disk path with 10GB storage
db.create_database(disk_gb=10, disk_path="/path/to/storage")

# Hybrid: 4GB memory cap with 20GB disk overflow
db.create_database(memory_cap_mb=4096, disk_gb=20)

Storage Configuration Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
memory_cap_mb	int	32768 (32GB)	Maximum memory usage in MB
disk_gb	int	None	Disk storage size in GB
disk_path	str	Auto-generated	Custom path for disk storage

Storage Modes

1. Pure In-Memory (default)

   db.create_database()  # Uses up to 32GB RAM
   

2. Pure Disk-Based

   db.create_database(disk_gb=10)  # 10GB disk storage
   

3. Hybrid Mode

   db.create_database(memory_cap_mb=2048, disk_gb=50)  # 2GB RAM + 50GB disk
   

When to Use Each Mode

• In-Memory: Best for high-performance analytics on datasets that fit in RAM
• Disk-Based: Ideal for large datasets that exceed available memory
• Hybrid: Optimal for large datasets with hot/cold data patterns

💾 Database Persistence - Save and Restore

AlawymDB now supports saving your entire database to disk and restoring it later, enabling:

• Data persistence across application restarts
• Database sharing between different processes
• Backup and recovery capabilities
• Data migration between systems

Save and Restore API

# Save the current database state
save_info = db.save_database("/path/to/backup")
print(save_info)  # Shows save statistics

# Restore a database from backup
restore_info = db.restore_database("/path/to/backup")
print(restore_info)  # Shows restore statistics

📦 Multi-Process Data Sharing Example

This example demonstrates how different processes can share a database via save/restore:

# save_restore_demo.py
import alawymdb as db
import sys
import os

BACKUP_PATH = "/tmp/shared_database_backup"

def save_process():
    """Process 1: Create database and save it"""
    print("=== SAVE PROCESS ===")
    
    # Create and populate database
    db.create_database()
    db.create_schema("company")
    db.create_table("company", "employees", [
        ("id", "UINT64", False),
        ("name", "STRING", False),
        ("department", "STRING", False),
        ("salary", "FLOAT64", False),
    ])
    
    # Insert sample data
    employees = [
        (1, "Alice", "Engineering", 95000.0),
        (2, "Bob", "Sales", 75000.0),
        (3, "Charlie", "Marketing", 82000.0),
        (4, "Diana", "HR", 70000.0),
        (5, "Eve", "Engineering", 105000.0)
    ]
    
    for emp_id, name, dept, salary in employees:
        db.insert_row("company", "employees", [
            ("id", emp_id),
            ("name", name),
            ("department", dept),
            ("salary", salary)
        ])
    
    # Query to verify
    result = db.execute_sql("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM company.employees")
    print(f"Created {result} employees")
    
    # Save the database
    save_info = db.save_database(BACKUP_PATH)
    print(f"✅ Database saved to: {BACKUP_PATH}")
    print(save_info)

def restore_process():
    """Process 2: Restore database and verify"""
    print("=== RESTORE PROCESS ===")
    
    # Create new database instance
    db.create_database()
    
    # Restore from backup
    restore_info = db.restore_database(BACKUP_PATH)
    print(f"✅ Database restored from: {BACKUP_PATH}")
    print(restore_info)
    
    # Verify data is intact
    result = db.execute_sql("SELECT * FROM company.employees")
    print("Restored data:")
    print(result)
    
    # Run analytics on restored data
    avg_salary = db.execute_sql("""
        SELECT department, AVG(salary) as avg_salary 
        FROM company.employees 
        GROUP BY department
    """)
    print("\nAverage salary by department:")
    print(avg_salary)

# Run based on command line argument
if __name__ == "__main__":
    if len(sys.argv) != 2:
        print("Usage:")
        print("  python save_restore_demo.py save     # Process 1")
        print("  python save_restore_demo.py restore  # Process 2")
        sys.exit(1)
    
    if sys.argv[1] == "save":
        save_process()
    elif sys.argv[1] == "restore":
        restore_process()

Run the example:

# Terminal 1: Create and save database
python save_restore_demo.py save

# Terminal 2: Restore and use database
python save_restore_demo.py restore

💡 Quick Start

import alawymdb as db

# Initialize database (with optional disk storage)
db.create_database()  # Or: db.create_database(disk_gb=5)

# Create schema and table
db.create_schema("main")
db.create_table(
    "main", 
    "users",
    [
        ("id", "UINT64", False),
        ("name", "STRING", False),
        ("age", "INT64", True),
        ("email", "STRING", True),
        ("score", "FLOAT64", True)
    ]
)

# Insert data - NO INDEXES NEEDED!
users = [
    (1, "Alice", 30, "[e-mail]", 95.5),
    (2, "Bob", 25, "[e-mail]", 87.3),
    (3, "Charlie", 35, "[e-mail]", 92.1),
]

for user_id, name, age, email, score in users:
    db.insert_row("main", "users", [
        ("id", user_id),
        ("name", name),
        ("age", age),
        ("email", email),
        ("score", score)
    ])

# Query with SQL - Automatic predicate pushdown, no indexes required!
result = db.execute_sql("SELECT * FROM main.users")
print(result)

# SQL with WHERE clause - Uses dynamic statistics automatically
young_users = db.execute_sql("SELECT * FROM main.users WHERE age = 25")
print(f"Young users:\n{young_users}")

# Direct API queries
all_users = db.select_all("main", "users")
print(f"Total users: {db.count_rows('main', 'users')}")

# Convert to Pandas DataFrame
df = db.to_pandas("main", "users")
print(df.describe())

# Get column as NumPy array
ages = db.to_numpy("main", "users", "age")
print(f"Average age: {ages.mean():.1f}")

📊 Direct SQL to Pandas Integration

AlawymDB now supports direct SQL execution to Pandas DataFrame, providing seamless integration for data science workflows:

import alawymdb as db
import pandas as pd

# Initialize and populate database
db.create_database()
db.create_schema("analytics")
db.create_table("analytics", "sales", [
    ("id", "UINT64", False),
    ("product", "STRING", False),
    ("revenue", "FLOAT64", False),
    ("region", "STRING", False)
])

# Insert sample data
sales_data = [
    (1, "Laptop", 1299.99, "North"),
    (2, "Mouse", 29.99, "South"),
    (3, "Keyboard", 79.99, "East"),
    (4, "Monitor", 349.99, "West"),
    (5, "Headphones", 199.99, "North")
]

for sale in sales_data:
    db.insert_row("analytics", "sales", [
        ("id", sale[0]),
        ("product", sale[1]),
        ("revenue", sale[2]),
        ("region", sale[3])
    ])

# Execute SQL directly to Pandas DataFrame - NEW FEATURE!
df = db.execute_sql_to_pandas("SELECT * FROM analytics.sales WHERE revenue > 100.0")
print("High-value sales:")
print(df)
print(f"DataFrame type: {type(df)}")

# Complex aggregation queries directly to Pandas
df_summary = db.execute_sql_to_pandas("""
    SELECT region, COUNT(*) as sales_count, SUM(revenue) as total_revenue
    FROM analytics.sales 
    GROUP BY region
""")
print("\nSales summary by region:")
print(df_summary)

# Use Pandas operations on the result
df_summary['avg_revenue'] = df_summary['total_revenue'] / df_summary['sales_count']
print("\nWith calculated average:")
print(df_summary)

Output:

High-value sales:
   id    product  revenue region
0   1     Laptop  1299.99  North
1   3   Keyboard    79.99   East
2   4    Monitor   349.99   West
3   5  Headphones   199.99  North
DataFrame type: <class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>

Sales summary by region:
  region  sales_count  total_revenue
0   East            1          79.99

🎯 Working Example: Analytics with Pandas Integration

import alawymdb as db
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# Setup
db.create_database()
db.create_schema("test_schema")

# Create employees table - no indexes needed!
db.create_table(
    "test_schema",
    "employees",

📊 Create Table from Pandas DataFrame

import alawymdb as db
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

db.create_database()
db.create_schema("data")

# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'product_id': np.arange(1, 101),
    'product_name': [f'Product_{i}' for i in range(1, 101)],
    'price': np.random.uniform(10, 100, 100).round(2),
    'quantity': np.random.randint(1, 100, 100),
    'in_stock': np.random.choice([0, 1], 100)  # Use 0/1 instead of True/False
})

# Import DataFrame to AlawymDB - no indexes created!
result = db.from_pandas(df, "data", "products")
print(result)

# Verify by reading back
df_verify = db.to_pandas("data", "products")
print(f"Imported {len(df_verify)} rows with {len(df_verify.columns)} columns")
print(df_verify.head())

# Query the imported data - uses predicate pushdown automatically
result = db.execute_sql("SELECT * FROM data.products WHERE price > 50.0")
print(f"Products with price > 50: {result}")

# Execute query directly to Pandas - NEW FEATURE!
df_expensive = db.execute_sql_to_pandas("SELECT * FROM data.products WHERE price > 75.0")
print(f"\nExpensive products DataFrame shape: {df_expensive.shape}")
print(df_expensive.head())

print("✨ Query executed with pure algorithmic optimization!")

📈 Wide Table Example (Working Version)

import alawymdb as db

db.create_database()
db.create_schema("wide")

# Create table with many columns - no column indexes needed!
num_columns = 100
columns = [("id", "UINT64", False)]
columns += [(f"metric_{i}", "FLOAT64", True) for i in range(num_columns)]

db.create_table("wide", "metrics", columns)

# Insert data
for row_id in range(100):
    values = [("id", row_id)]
    values += [(f"metric_{i}", float(row_id * 0.1 + i)) for i in range(num_columns)]
    db.insert_row("wide", "metrics", values)

# Query using direct API (more reliable for wide tables)
all_data = db.select_all("wide", "metrics")
print(f"Inserted {len(all_data)} rows")

# Convert to Pandas for analysis
df = db.to_pandas("wide", "metrics")
print(f"DataFrame shape: {df.shape}")
print(f"Columns: {df.columns[:5].tolist()} ... {df.columns[-5:].tolist()}")

# Execute SQL directly to Pandas for wide table analysis - NEW FEATURE!
df_subset = db.execute_sql_to_pandas("SELECT id, metric_0, metric_50, metric_99 FROM wide.metrics WHERE id < 10")
print(f"\nSubset DataFrame shape: {df_subset.shape}")
print(df_subset)

# Get specific column as NumPy array
metric_0 = db.to_numpy("wide", "metrics", "metric_0")
print(f"Metric_0 stats: mean={metric_0.mean():.2f}, std={metric_0.std():.2f}")

print("\n✅ Wide table with 100 columns - no indexes, pure algorithmic performance!")

🚀 Performance Test

import alawymdb as db
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import time

db.create_database()
db.create_schema("perf")

# Create a large DataFrame
n_rows = 10000
df_large = pd.DataFrame({

    'value1': np.random.randn(n_rows),
    'value2': np.random.randn(n_rows) * 100,
    'category': np.random.choice(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'], n_rows),
    'flag': np.random.choice([0, 1], n_rows)
})

# Time the import - no indexes created
start = time.time()

sql_pandas_time = time.time() - start
print(f"SQL to Pandas: {sql_pandas_time:.3f}s ({len(df_sql)} rows returned)")

# Verify
print(f"Shape verification: {df_export.shape}")
print(f"SQL result shape: {df_sql.shape}")

# Query performance without indexes

🏗️ Why "Almost Linear Any Way You Measure"?

The name AlawymDB reflects our core achievement:

• Column scaling: O(n) with tiny logarithmic factor (log₂₅₆)
• Row scaling: Pure O(n) for scans
• Memory usage: Linear with data size
• Wide tables: Tested up to 5000 columns with maintained performance
• No index overhead: Zero index maintenance cost
• Dynamic optimization: Statistics computed on-the-fly
• Pure algorithmic: No hardware dependencies or acceleration

📊 Current SQL Support

✅ Working SQL Features

• SELECT * FROM table
• SELECT column1, column2 FROM table
• SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = value
• SELECT * FROM table WHERE column > value
• Aggregation Functions: COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX()
• JOIN Operations: INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, CROSS JOIN
• Set Operations: UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT
• GROUP BY with aggregations
• Automatic predicate pushdown on all WHERE clauses
• Dynamic statistics computed during execution
• Direct SQL to Pandas: execute_sql_to_pandas() for seamless data science integration
• Aliases (AS) are supported

⚠️ SQL Limitations

• ORDER BY not supported (probably soon)
• LIMIT not yet supported
• LIKE not yet supported
• Type matching is strict (use 50.0 for FLOAT64, 50 for INT64)
