    uniqueRows := make([][]interface{}, 0)
    
    for _, row := range rows {
        key := "" // Concatenate all column values
        for i, val := range row {
            if i > 0 {
                key += "\x00" // Null byte separator
            }
            key += fmt.Sprintf("%v", val)
        }
        
        if !seen[key] {

├── server.go        // HTTP server setup
├── handler.go       // Request handlers

6.9 Configuration

Server Configuration:

type ServerConfig struct {
    Host            string        // "localhost"
    Port            int           // 8080
    ReadTimeout     time.Duration // 30s
    WriteTimeout    time.Duration // 30s

    EnableCORS      bool          // true
    EnableAuth      bool          // false
    APIKeys         []string      // ["key1", "key2"]
    TLSCertFile     string        // "/path/to/cert.pem"
    TLSKeyFile      string        // "/path/to/key.pem"
}

6.10 Client Libraries (Future)

Official clients to build:

  • Go: pizzasql-go
  • Python: pizzasql-python
  • Node.js: pizzasql-js
  • Rust: pizzasql-rs

Example Go Client:

client := pizzasql.New("http://localhost:8080", "api-key-123")
result, err := client.Query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", 42)
for result.Next() {
    var id int
    var name string
    result.Scan(&id, &name)
}

6.11 Performance Considerations

  • Connection pooling: Reuse executor instances
  • Query caching: Cache parsed ASTs for prepared statements
  • Response compression: gzip/brotli for large responses
  • Rate limiting: Per-IP or per-API-key limits
  • Request size limits: Prevent abuse with large payloads

6.12 Monitoring & Observability

Metrics endpoint:

GET /metrics (Prometheus format)

# HELP pizzasql_queries_total Total queries executed
# TYPE pizzasql_queries_total counter
pizzasql_queries_total{status="success"} 1234
pizzasql_queries_total{status="error"} 56

# HELP pizzasql_query_duration_seconds Query execution time
# TYPE pizzasql_query_duration_seconds histogram
pizzasql_query_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.001"} 100
...

6.13 Success Criteria

  • ✅ Execute SQL queries via HTTP POST (POST /query)
  • ✅ Return results as JSON with columns, types, and rows
  • ✅ Support parameterized queries (? placeholders with params array)

SQLite Compatibility Estimates

Phase Completion SQLite Compatibility
Phase 1-3 ✅ Done ~50% - Core SQL works
Phase 4 ✅ Done ~70% - SQLite dialect
Phase 5 ✅ Done ~85% - Transactions, indexes, subqueries, ALTER TABLE
Phase 6 ✅ Done ~85% - HTTP API (no change to SQL compatibility)
Beyond Not planned 100% - Full parity

Note: "Compatibility" refers to typical application use cases. Edge cases, advanced features (FTS, window functions, triggers), and file format compatibility would require additional phases.

Phase 6 Status: HTTP/JSON API server fully implemented! Features include:

  • RESTful endpoints for SQL execution, schema introspection, and health monitoring
  • Parameterized queries with ? placeholders
  • Batch execution with optional transactions
  • Gzip response compression
  • CORS and authentication middleware
  • Prometheus metrics endpoint for monitoring
  • Full test coverage
