oxyde-core 0.5.0

Rust core for Oxyde ORM - high-performance database operations

Oxyde-core

Native Rust backend for Oxyde ORM. Provides high-performance database operations via PyO3 bindings.

Core Technologies

• PyO3 — Rust bindings for Python, async support via pyo3-async-runtimes
• sqlx — Async SQL toolkit with compile-time checked queries
• sea-query — Dynamic SQL query builder for multiple backends
• MessagePack — Compact binary serialization, faster than JSON
• tokio — Async runtime, GIL released during I/O operations

Why Rust?

1. Performance — Native code execution, zero-copy where possible
2. True async — GIL released during database I/O, enabling real parallelism
3. Memory safety — No segfaults, no data races
4. Connection pooling — Efficient pool management with sqlx

Architecture

oxyde-core is a Python extension module (.so/.pyd) built with PyO3. It exposes async functions that handle the entire database pipeline:

Internal Crates

Crate	Purpose
oxyde-codec	MessagePack IR protocol, query structure validation
oxyde-query	IR → SQL conversion using sea_query
oxyde-driver	Connection pools (sqlx), query execution, transactions
oxyde-migrate	Schema diff, migration SQL generation

Exposed Functions

Connection Management

• init_pool(name, url, settings) — Initialize named connection pool
• init_pool_overwrite(name, url, settings) — Replace existing pool
• close_pool(name) — Close specific pool
• close_all_pools() — Close all pools

Query Execution

• execute(pool_name, ir_bytes) — Execute query, return MessagePack results
• execute_in_transaction(pool_name, tx_id, ir_bytes) — Execute within transaction
• render_sql(pool_name, ir_bytes) — Get SQL and params without executing
• render_sql_debug(ir_bytes, dialect) — Render SQL for specific dialect
• explain(pool_name, ir_bytes, analyze, format) — Get query execution plan

Transactions

• begin_transaction(pool_name) — Start transaction, return tx_id
• commit_transaction(tx_id) — Commit transaction
• rollback_transaction(tx_id) — Rollback transaction
• create_savepoint(tx_id, name) — Create savepoint
• rollback_to_savepoint(tx_id, name) — Rollback to savepoint
• release_savepoint(tx_id, name) — Release savepoint

Migrations

• migration_compute_diff(old_json, new_json) — Compute schema diff
• migration_to_sql(operations_json, dialect) — Generate migration SQL

Supported Databases

• PostgreSQL — Full support (RETURNING, UPSERT, JSON, arrays)
• SQLite — Full support (WAL mode, RETURNING)
• MySQL — Full support (auto-increment IDs via last_insert_id(), UPSERT via ON DUPLICATE KEY)

Installation

This package is installed automatically as a dependency of oxyde:

pip install oxyde

For development:

cd crates/oxyde-core-py
maturin develop --release

Usage

Import from oxyde, not directly from oxyde-core:

from oxyde import Model, Field, db

class User(Model):
    class Meta:
        is_table = True

    id: int | None = Field(default=None, db_pk=True)
    email: str = Field(db_unique=True)

await db.init(default="postgresql://localhost/mydb")
users = await User.objects.all()
