Integration with HeliosDB

Type System Integration

impl ColumnType {
    pub fn from_helios_type(dt: &DataType) -> Self {
        match dt {
            DataType::Int8 => ColumnType::Tiny,
            DataType::String => ColumnType::VarString,
            DataType::Vector { .. } => ColumnType::Json,
            // ... complete mapping
        }
    }
}

Query Execution Framework

async fn handle_query(&mut self, payload: Bytes) -> Result<()> {
    let query = String::from_utf8_lossy(&payload).to_string();

    // Integration point: HeliosDB SQL engine
    // let results = helios_engine.execute(&query).await?;

    // Send result set back to client
    self.send_result_set(results).await?;
    Ok(())
}

Prepared Statement Framework

async fn handle_stmt_execute(&mut self, payload: Bytes) -> Result<()> {
    let statement_id = /* parse from payload */;
    let stmt = self.prepared_statements.get(&statement_id)?;

    // Integration point: HeliosDB prepared statement API
    // let results = helios_engine.execute_prepared(&stmt.sql, &params).await?;

    // Send binary protocol result set
    self.send_binary_result_set(results).await?;
    Ok(())
}

Usage Example

Server Side (Rust)

use heliosdb_protocols::mysql::handle_mysql_connection;
use tokio::net::TcpListener;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let listener = TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0:3306").await?;
    let mut connection_id = 0u32;

    loop {
        let (stream, _addr) = listener.accept().await?;
        connection_id += 1;

        tokio::spawn(async move {
            if let Err(e) = handle_mysql_connection(stream, connection_id).await {
                eprintln!("Connection error: {}", e);
            }
        });
    }
}

Client Side (Python - PyMySQL)

import pymysql

# Connect to HeliosDB via MySQL protocol
conn = pymysql.connect(
    host='localhost',
    port=3306,
    user='heliosdb',
    password='heliosdb',
    database='heliosdb',
    charset='utf8mb4'
)

cursor = conn.cursor()

# Execute queries
cursor.execute("SELECT 1")
result = cursor.fetchone()  # (1,)

# Parameterized queries
cursor.execute("SELECT %s, %s", (42, "hello"))
result = cursor.fetchone()  # (42, "hello")

# Transactions
conn.begin()
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO users VALUES (%s, %s)", (1, "Alice"))
conn.commit()

cursor.close()
conn.close()

Client Side (Python - mysql-connector-python)

import mysql.connector

# Connect with server-side prepared statements
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
    host='localhost',
    port=3306,
    user='heliosdb',
    password='heliosdb',
    database='heliosdb'
)

# Regular cursor (text protocol)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT 1")
result = cursor.fetchone()  # (1,)
cursor.close()

# Prepared statement cursor (binary protocol)
cursor = conn.cursor(prepared=True)
cursor.execute("SELECT %s, %s", (42, "world"))
result = cursor.fetchone()  # (42, "world")
cursor.close()

conn.close()
