by I was surprised to see that there aren’t more posts about this popular lightweight client-side in-memory SQL database online apart from this awesome article I found.

AlaSQL enables us to convert SQL language into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) that we can programmatically interpret into our data model.

Our implementation was as easy as defining the function (Note this is sample code): We are happy with our decision to use AlaSQL to interpret SQL into our data model and run performant queries against as much SQL as possible.

After Q&A on AlaSQL, our CTO Kyle Bernhardy shared more about using AlaSQL as HarperDB’s engine to interpret and parse complex SQL into our data model and perform simple to complex SQL CRUD operations, as well as exposing other libraries like Turf.js, JSONata and more.Looking for more resources on this innovative client-side in-memory SQL database?
