FUSQL

Main version. Developed under linux. (and now working with OS X!)

Fusql works as a interface between a relational database (sqlite for now) and a filesystem. Each table is represented as a directory, each row is represented as a folder inside a table folder and each column is represented as a file inside a row folder.

Actually Supported

fusql now supports:

  • list tables, rows and columns
  • create/delete tables creating or deleting folders on the root directory
  • create/delete rows creating or deleting folders inside a table folder
  • create columns creating a file inside any row (it will update the other rows)
  • rename tables or rows just renaming the respective folder
  • view a cell content just reading the content of the respective column inside a row
  • write on column files (still a little buggy)
  • binary file support it's still experimental

Instalation and Running

To run it, make sure you have Fuse installed, and python bindings (check http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) and for python bindings in ubuntu use the package python-fuse, for other distros you should investigate. Once you have that you can run it using:

$ python fusql.py -f mnt_folder

And if you don't want to view the debug

$ python fusql.py mnt_folder

To unmount it you can run

$ fusermount -u mnt_folder

License

Fusql it's now using DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE to read more about it reed file LICENSE

Example:

A database like:

id username password name lastname address phone city
1 j0hn secret Gonzalo Garcia example 1234 Cordoba
2 nassty secret2 Mariano Garcia example 4321 Cordoba

will be visualized as the following :

$ ls
users
$ ls users
1 2
$ ls users/1
id.int username.txt password.txt name.txt lastname.txt address.txt phone.txt city.txt
$ cat users/1/username.txt
j0hn

Cool usage of this project

Tweaking the table names you can get a pseudo-dynamic webapp.

  • The cols named "start" are mapped to "index.html"
  • the cols named "style" are mapped to "style.css"
  • and the columns named "functions" are mapped to "functions.js".

You can run a web browser on top of that and enjoy:

$ mkdir tmp
$ python fusql.py -f tmp &
[1] 90210
$ cd tmp
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer &
[2] 1337
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
$ curl localhost:8000/pages/1/index.html
localhost - - [31/Feb/1337 55:76:49] "GET /pages/1/index.html HTTP/1.1" 200 -
<html>
<head>
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="functions.js"></script>

</head>
<body>
<h1 class="header">Hello</h1>
<p class="content"> this is just a test app</p>
</body>
</html>
$ sudo umount tmp

We're awesome.
