Making an Embedded DBMS JIT-friendly

Abstract

While database management systems (DBMSs) are highly optimized,
interactions across the boundary between the programming language (PL) and the DBMS are costly, even for in-process embedded DBMSs. In this paper, we show that programs that interact with the popular embedded DBMS SQLite can be significantly optimized -- by a factor of 3.4 in our benchmarks -- by inlining across the PL / DBMS boundary. We achieved this speed-up by replacing parts of SQLite's
C interpreter with RPython code and composing the resulting meta-tracing virtual machine (VM) -- called SQPyte -- with the PyPy VM. SQPyte does not compromise stand-alone SQL performance and is 2.2% faster than SQLite on the widely used TPC-H benchmark suite.
