I think about a database engine which would meet my three main
requirements:
- integrated with D (ranges)
- ACID
- fast
Since the days when I was working on financing data SW I become
allergic to SQL. I though that NoSQL databases would fill the
bill. Unfortunately they didn't. And I want to have an ability
to write a code like this without too much effort:
struct Person
{
string name;
string surname;
ubyte age;
Address address;
}
DataBase db = new DataBase("file.db");
auto coll = db.collection!Person("NSA.Registry");
auto visitationList = coll.filter!(p => p.name == "James");
writeln (visitationList);
And other things like updating and deleting from db. I think
you get my point.
So I started a PoC project based on SQLite design:

The PoC code:

Can you please share your thoughts and experience on the topic?
Has anyone tried similar things?

I've scanned this thread, but haven't seen if any 'decisions'
have been more, or if it is just more of the usual back-and-forth
with nothing being decided. However, I did have one (Ok two)
questions.
1. Is there a GSOC project in here somewhere?
2. Who would want to mentor such a thing?
