OtterSQL implements a generic intermediate code (IC) with an instruction set for tabular data operations. This IC can be used to make in-memory mocks of larger databases such as MySQL and SQLite. This IC is executed by the OtterSQL VM. This project also provides a frontend that compiles a generic dialect of SQL to the IC.
The primary goal for this project is to facilitate developers in testing their SQL-backed applications. The long term goal is to have an embeddable SQL VM for use in client-side applications.
Non-goals (for now): performance, concurrency, persistence, ACID compliance.
