Binary Query Language

Binary SQL encapsulation - By Tony Swain. Dec 3/2013




Feature Particulars Efficiency & Superiority Byte Codes/Extensions
BQL Command Sets 8-bit for common ops (GET, PUT); 16-bit for complex ops (JOIN, COUNT, SUM, GROUP_BY, UNION, etc.), extensible to 32-bit via high bit. Compact binary encoding slashes parsing overhead, outperforming SQL’s text queries. Scalable for future needs. 0x01 (GET), 0x0003 (COUNT)
BQL Value Compression PRIMITIVE_WIDTH compresses primitives (e.g., int64_t 255 to 1 byte) based on value size. Cuts storage and bandwidth, ideal for IoT, surpassing SQL’s fixed-size data handling. N/A
BQL Hashed Indices Branch indices (BRANCH_8 to BRANCH_32) for scalable lookups. Faster than SQL’s B-trees, with lower memory use, boosting query speed. 0x0001 (BRANCH_8)
BQL Hardware Support 8 to 64-bit addressing, encryption, flags (e.g., DB_FILE_JOURNAL). Adapts to microcontrollers and servers, with secure, efficient data management. 0x80 (ENCRYPTION_ENA)
ChannelData Memory Allocation MemoryAllocationRequest struct for size, type, and flags. Precise allocation minimizes waste, optimizing CPU, GPU, cloud performance. 0x00 (HEAP_MEMORY)
ChannelData Encoding Memory types (HEAP_MEMORY, GPU_MEMORY), data types (DATA_INT, DATA_OBJECT), dimensions (DATA_2D_ARRAY). Supports complex data and hardware-specific storage, more versatile than SQL tables. 0x03 (DATA_INT)
ChannelData Flags Flags like MEMORY_GPU_TEXTURE, DATA_PACK_PARAMETERS for specialized handling. Fine-grained control enhances high-performance computing, outpacing SQL’s generic model. 0x0400 (MEMORY_GPU_TEXTURE)
