Does anyone know of a pure Perl SQL server? I have noticed the rise of 'pure
Perl' modules for things like XML parsing, and the pure Perl DBD::MySQLPP,
but have never seen anything as ambition as a pure Perl SQL server.
I am not entirely sure as to how useful such a thing would be, although it'd
make a cute part time project, as there's bound to be tons of things I'd
learn along the way. With Perl6/Parrot approaching rapidly, I believe such
pure Perl systems could come into their own, as Perl's speed rockets up the
y-axis.
This is just blustering at this point, but I'd be interested to hear what
other people think. My searches for such a project have been fruitless,
except for a post on a LUG mailing list where someone was asking for a pure
Perl SQL server, but that was four years ago, and he got no replies!
I have looked at SQL::Statement which does a little parsing for DBD::CSV,
although I have yet to take a good look into DBD::CSV itself. I believe
there's potential to developing a 'reasonably' powerful SQL engine in pure
Perl, and if it's developed with Perl 6 in mind, it may become a rather
useful tool in the future.
Thoughts? Hisses? Sarky comments? Insights?
