GetSetDB

An extremely optimised and lightweight NoSQL in memory database system written in Go.

Systems Supported

• Debian / Ubuntu 16.04 and up
• Fedora / Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• MacOS

note - Windows support not determined as it's not been tested

Installation

To see the instructions for building from source, refer this.

• for Ubuntu / Debian users -
  • option 1 - download a pre-built binary and place it in /usr/bin/
  • option 2 - download a pre-built .deb package from here - getsetdb-v1.deb
• for Fedora / Red Hat Enterprise Linux users -
  • download a pre-built binary and place it in /usr/bin/
• for MacOS users
  • download a pre-built binary and place it in /usr/bin/

Usage

Since GetSetDB is an extremely lightweight database, A Tour of GetSetDB should be enough for most people to get up and running with it.

If you wish to use it in conjunction with a programming language, please look out for upcoming connectors for different languages.

Documentation

For a tutorial that covers everything from the structuring of GetSetDB to the syntax for the commands, check out A Tour of GetSetDB

API documentation for reference will be coming soon.

Building From Source

GetSetDB is written purely in Go, so you need to have Go installed on your system to build it from souce. Install it from here. Next, configure your $GOPATH - by default, it is your home directory.

$ mkdir -p ~/go/src/
$ go get github.com/getsetdb/getsetdb

This should automatically build GetSetDB for you and will place the executable binary in ~/go/bin/. To run it from anywhere, you'll have to add this binary to your $PATH. To do so, run the following -

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Developing

If you're a developer looking for documentation on making connectors for a language that GetSetDB doesn't already support , please be paitent - documentation for that will be coming soon.

Same goes for contributing to the database itself.
