SharpCoreDB.Server.Core 1.5.0

SharpCoreDB v1.5.0 - Production Database Engine

High-Performance Embedded AND Networked Database for .NET 10

SharpCoreDB is a modern, encrypted, file-based database engine with SQL support, built for production applications. Now available as both embedded database and network server.

✨ What's New in v1.5.0

🎉 Phase 11 Complete: Network Database Server

• SharpCoreDB.Server - Full network database server with gRPC, Binary TCP, HTTPS REST, WebSocket
• Multi-Language Clients - .NET, Python (PyPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (npm)
• Enterprise Security - JWT + Mutual TLS + RBAC
• Cross-Platform Deploy - Docker, Windows Service, Linux systemd

🐛 Critical Bug Fixes

• Database Reopen: Fixed edge case where closing and immediately reopening a database would fail
• Metadata Handling: Graceful empty JSON handling for new databases
• Durability: Immediate metadata flush ensures persistence on disk

📦 New Features

• Brotli Compression: 60-80% smaller metadata files with zero CPU overhead
• Backward Compatible: Auto-detects compressed vs raw JSON format
• Enterprise Distributed: Phase 10 complete with sync, replication, transactions

🚀 Key Features

✅ Embedded Database - Single-file storage, no server required
✅ Network Server Mode - gRPC/HTTP/WebSocket protocols (NEW!)
✅ Encrypted - AES-256-GCM encryption built-in
✅ SQL Support - Full SQL syntax, prepared statements
✅ High Performance - 6.5x faster than SQLite for bulk operations
✅ Modern C# 14 - Latest language features, NativeAOT ready
✅ Cross-Platform - Windows, Linux, macOS, ARM64 native
✅ Production Ready - 1,468+ tests, zero known critical bugs
✅ Multi-Language - .NET, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript clients

📊 Performance

• Bulk Insert (1M rows): 2.8 seconds
• Analytics (COUNT 1M): 682x faster than SQLite
• Vector Search: 50-100x faster than SQLite
• Metadata Compression: <1ms overhead
• gRPC Query Latency: 0.8-1.2ms (p50)
• Concurrent Connections: 1000+ (server mode)

💻 Quick Example

using SharpCoreDB;

// Create database
var factory = new DatabaseFactory();
var db = factory.Create("myapp.scdb", "master-password");

// Execute SQL
db.ExecuteSQL("CREATE TABLE users (id INT PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)");
db.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice')");

// Query data
var results = db.ExecuteQuery("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1");
foreach (var row in results)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{row["id"]}: {row["name"]}");
}

db.Flush(); // Persist to disk
