Implementation Details:
// Hash-based deduplication in executor.go
func (e *Executor) applyDistinct(rows [][]interface{}) [][]interface{} {
seen := make(map[string]bool)
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] {
seen[key] = true
uniqueRows = append(uniqueRows, row)
}
}
return uniqueRows
}
Performance:
- Time complexity: O(n) where n = number of rows

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

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

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