We're aware of your woes with ClickBench. The first time you added it I even explicitly told you that it was way too early to even try that. The attempt you did recently was fair, but it's all in the ingestion before the benchmark, and does not show up anywhere, so we ended up spending time on this instead:

In any case, this is on our radar and we do intend to improve it but not the highest priority right now.

There's a reference manual in Git repository, but probably not what you're looking for. Will add something.

New comment by penberg in "Why Is SQLite Coded In C"

You're not wrong about VC-funded database arc, but what history are you even talking about?

I am sure you understand that I have absolutely nothing to do with Scylla's licensing. I have not worked there for four years nor was I ever in a position there that I would even had that opportunity to influence such decisions.

I am also sure you understand that Scylla's development model was completely different: they had AGPL license and contributors had to sign a CLA, which is why they were able to relicense in the first place. Turso is MIT licensed and there's no barrier to contributing and, therefore, already a much bigger contributor base.

I fully understand the scepticism, but you're mistaken about the open source history of Turso's founders.

The project is MIT licensed with a growing community of contributors. It does not even matter how long the company lives, all that matters is that some of the core contributors live.

The actual reality is that I personally started the project because its synchronous architecture is holding back performance. You can read all about it in https://penberg.org/papers/penberg-edgesys24.pdf. The design is literally the next evolution of SQLite's architecture.
