Key features delivered: - WAL multiprocess and tshm robustness fixes: improved WAL journal mode coordination, rollback state restoration, and cross-target consistency (representative commits include fixes for multiprocess/tshm WAL journal mode, rollback state restoration, and wasm/unix coordination). - Multiprocess test infrastructure and gating: added gating for multiprocess tests, a Make target, a GitHub Action, and simulator configuration to validate concurrent workloads (commits include feature gate for unix 64-bit, proper gating, and CI action). - Benchmarking and test updates: introduced core benchmarks for triggers and updated checksum tests to reflect concurrent scenarios. - TEMP tables support and related features: extended TEMP tables across core, SQL generation, triggers, and fuzzing; regression tests and trigger handling improved to match SQLite-like behavior. - Cross-platform filesystem shared WAL support: implemented filesystem_type_allows_shared_wal on non-linux targets. - Code quality and maintenance: introduced Clippy configuration and related lint improvements. - Durable snapshot sequencing: added a durable snapshot_seq to the mapped header and made snapshot() retry for a stable head. - Release readiness and docs: version bumps to 0.6.0-pre.xx series (including pre-24), Go driver example, SDK-kit FTS, docs for multiprocess access, and vouch/file updates. Major bugs fixed: - WAL coordination and rollback restoration fixes: corrected WAL journal mode behavior and restored tx-local state on rollback in multi-process scenarios. - TEMP tables and MVCC safety fixes: resolved MVCC temp table issues, fixed triggers on temp tables, and corrected attached DB name resolution for TEMP triggers. - Stability and integrity fixes: prevented panic on dirty pages with TEMP triggers, fixed integrity checks with dropped root pages, and ensured proper handling for uninitialized temp databases (no stray Transaction op). - Test and compatibility fixes: shuttle test fix, PRAGMA handling with temp tables, CLI -m list output fix, and macOS fnctl locks robustness improvements. - Catalog and extension reliability: exposed corrupt catalog errors instead of unwrapping malformed catalogs and fixed failing extension tests. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved multi-process stability and data integrity in production-like workloads, enabling safer concurrency at scale. - Enhanced testing reliability and CI resilience through gating, structured benchmarks, and cross-platform compatibility. - Strengthened TEMP table support to closely mirror SQLite semantics, unlocking more use cases and reducing edge-case regressions. - Positioned the project for faster, safer releases with clearer performance characteristics and better developer tooling. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Rust performance and safety practices (const correctness, memory allocation optimizations, code quality with Clippy). - IO-uring, non-blocking I/O, and concurrency primitives for higher throughput and reduced contention. - Cross-platform engineering for non-Linux targets and shared WAL support. - Advanced database features (TEMP tables, MVCC, triggers) and SQL generation nuances. - Test infrastructure engineering (multiprocess gating, CI workflows, fixtures) and benchmarking discipline.
