Why photon?

• ✨ Compared to other databases it is so small and compact! ✨
• ✨ It's so fast! ✨
• ✨ Supports multiple languages and executables for multiple operating systems! ✨

Blazingly fast!

• Note: I know this is not related to sqlite, but I wanted to compare it to other famous databases.

	select 1 row	select 100000 rows	insert 100000 row
photondb	1x	1x	1x
better-sqlite3	2.63x slower	11.5x slower	17.7x slower

Usage

Importing

const photon = require("photondb");

Opening your file

const db = photon("./myFile.pdb");

Running a command

db.query("CREATE TABLE helloWorld hi TEXT");

Commands

CREATE TABLE

Syntax: CREATE TABLE <tableName> <row-name> <row-properties>, <row-name> <row-properties>, ...

• Tip: You can add IF NOT EXISTS after CREATE TABLE so it doesn't throw an error if the table already exists.
• Example: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS workers id AUTOINCREMENT KEY, name, age NUMBER

Examples:

• CREATE TABLE workers id AUTOINCREMENT KEY, name, age NUMBER
• CREATE TABLE salaries id NUMBER, salary NUMBER

Properties

• text - It means the row's type is a string/text. Text type will be selected if nothing is given.
• number - It means the row's type is a number. Can be negative or positive. Can be a floating number. If auto increment property is selected the type will be chosen as number.
• auto-increment - It means that whenever a new one is created its' value will be increased by one according to the last added one. If auto increment option is given there is no need for its type to be given. Alias: "autoincrement"
• key - It will make it a key which means you can't create two or more with the same value. Alias: "unique"
• default=Something - It will put that value to that column if it was not specified from the query. Alias: "def=Something"

DELETE TABLE

Syntax: DELETE TABLE <table>

Examples:

• DELETE TABLE workers
• DELETE TABLE salaries

INSERT INTO

Syntax: INSERT INTO <table> <row-name> <row-value>, <row-name> <row-value>, ...

Examples:

• INSERT INTO workers name "Jack", age 22
• INSERT INTO salaries id 1, salary 15000

DELETE FROM

Syntax: DELETE FROM <table> WHERE <condition>

Examples:

• DELETE FROM workers WHERE name "Jack"
• DELETE FROM salaries WHERE salary 15000

SELECT FROM

Syntax: SELECT FROM <table> WHERE <condition>

Examples:

• SELECT FROM workers WHERE name "Jack", age 22
• SELECT FROM salaries WHERE salary 15000

UPDATE FROM

Syntax: UPDATE FROM <table> WHERE <condition> SET <values>

Examples:

• UPDATE FROM workers WHERE <condition> SET <values>
• UPDATE FROM salaries SET salary 30000
