To run each example and see the output run:
./build.sh
xdg-open out/index.html

Minimal example. Gives a hint at how boilerplate heavy Sphinx can be!
SQL histogram by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Let's try it on SQLite 3.40.1, Ubuntu 23.04. Data setup:
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite 'create table t(x integer)'
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite <<EOF
insert into t values (
  0,
  2,
  2,
  3,

  5,
  6,
  6,
  8,
  9,

  17,
)
EOF
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite 'create index tx on t(x)'
For a bin size of 5 ignoring empty ranges we can:
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite <<EOF
select floor(x/5)*5 as x,
       count(*) as cnt
from t
group by 1
order by 1
EOF
which produces the desired:
0|4
5|5
15|1
And to consider empty ranges we can use SQL genenerate_series + as per stackoverflow.com/questions/72367652/populating-empty-bins-in-a-histogram-generated-using-sql:
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite <<EOF
select x, sum(cnt) from (
  select floor(x/5)*5 as x,
         count(*) as cnt
    from t
    group by 1
  union
  select *, 0 as cnt from generate_series(0, 15, 5)
)
group by x
EOF
which outputs the desired:
0|4
5|5
10|0
15|1
SQL TRIGGER by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
SQL's implementation of database triggers.
This feature is really cool, as it allows you to keep caches up to date!
In particular, everything that happens in a trigger happens as if it were in a transaction. This way, you can do less explicit transactions when you use triggers. It is a bit like the advantages of SQL CASCADE.
ISO SQL TRIGGER syntax by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
TODO what is the standard compliant syntax?
SQLite does not support SQL stored procedures at all, so maybe that's why they can't be standard compliant here: stackoverflow.com/questions/3335162/creating-stored-procedure-in-sqlite
SQL:1999 11.38 covers "Trigger definition". The Abstract syntax tree starts with the CREATE TRIGGER and ends in:
<triggered SQL statement> ::=
  <SQL procedure statement>
This is defined at 13.5 "SQL procedure statement", but that is humongous and I'm not sure what it is at all.
UNION (SQL) by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Basic example tested on SQLite 3.40.1, Ubuntu 23.04:
sqlite3 :memory: 'select 1 union select 2'
output:
1
2
Two columns two rows:
sqlite3 :memory: <<EOF
select * from (values (1, 2), (2, 3))
union
select * from (values (2, 3), (3, 4))
EOF
output:
1|2
2|3
3|4
Note how duplicates are removed, to keep them we UNION ALL instead:
sqlite3 :memory: <<EOF
select * from (values (1, 2), (2, 3))
union all
select * from (values (2, 3), (3, 4))
EOF
output:
1|2
2|3
2|3
3|4
TensorFlow quantum by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Version of TensorFlow with a Cirq backend that can run in either quantum computers or classical computer simulations, with the goal of potentially speeding up deep learning applications on a quantum computer some day.
