Architecture
The SQL grammar is described in grammar.py, the binding of the grammar constructs to semantic objects is performed in bindings.py, the semantic objects and their execution strategies is defined in semantics.py. The semantics use a lot of classical and non-classical logic (cylindric logic) as well as optimization heuristics to define a relatively efficient and correct implementation of SQL.
The most basic data structures of the implementation are given in either kjbuckets0.py or the faster kjbucketsmodule.c, which implement the same data type signatures in Python and in a C extension to Python respectively.
The database.py module is a simple wrapper that provides a standard DBAPI interface to the system.
The test suite test/test_gadfly.py attempts to provide a regression test and a demonstration of the system.
The SQL parser also requires the kwParsing parser generation package, which consists of a number of additional python modules.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
