Drehtable
Drehtable is a conceptual data structure and software library designed to manage tabular data in memory with emphasis on speed, simplicity, and predictable performance. It provides a lightweight interface for creating, updating, and querying tables where each row represents a record and each column holds a value of a uniform type across rows. The design aims to balance the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the efficiency of a database.
Architecture and features: Drehtable uses a columnar layout for analytics-friendly access and a row-oriented layout for
Implementation notes: Drehtable implementations typically provide in-memory storage with optional on-disk persistence, pluggable index structures (hash-based
Applications: Use cases include rapid prototyping of data-centric applications, in-memory analytics on moderate datasets, and teaching
Limitations: Not intended as a fault-tolerant, highly scalable database; capacity and durability depend on the specific
