    • Neat!

  • Good performance for concurrent writes and larger-than-RAM data

    From 2 comments
    • Yes this is correct, only the query's answer set need to be in memory. We are also working on streaming for the Rust API, in which case you don't even need to keep the whole set…

    • Great questions! - As can be seen https://docs.cozodb.org/en/latest/releases/v0.3.html, for concurrent writes about 200K QPS can be achieved with 24 threads on a pretty old…

  • Inconsistent naming between CozoDB and Cozo in README

    From 1 comment
    • Is it called "CozoDB" or Cozo? Your README is inconsistent.

  • Parquet support

    From 1 comment
    • How well does Cozo handle larger than RAM data? Does it only need to keep the query's answer set in memory?

  • LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations

    From 2 comments
    • If you want folks playing with integrating CozoDB and LLMs, it might be worth adding a CozoDB wrapper to Langchain :-)

  • Production readiness and security

    • Would using Cozo make sense for a social network? Certainly would make modelling comments easier but how well does it handle many concurrent users? Can you intermix different…

  • SQLite FTS5 and Sonic for full text search

    From 2 comments
    • Thank you, that makes sense. Plus with vector search there seems to be ways of shoehorning FTS with it. Could also potentially use sqlite storage and piggyback off SQlite FTS5…

    • Sonic [1] might be a good fit, though it is not yet factored into a separate library [2]. [1]: https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic [2]:…
