BivittatusDB: Operator-Based Relational Database Management System

This is a Python-based relational database management system (RDBMS) designed from scratch with operator-based functionalities. It's a standalone system not compatible with SQL or NoSQL databases, aiming to provide a simple yet functional database management solution.

Features

• Operator-based operations: The database operates using operators such as +, -, and == to manipulate data.
• Relational Structure: Organizes data in tables with rows and columns, following a relational database model.
• Basic CRUD Operations: Supports basic Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations.
• Indexing: Efficient data retrieval with indexing mechanisms.
• Transaction Management: Implements transaction management to ensure data consistency.
• Security: All databases are asymmetrically encrypted with a user defined password for each database.

Installation

To install this, use the following command, as the latest commit could (and probably does) have a few errors, but the last stable release is working (as far as we know):

git clone https://github.com/HarbingerOfFire/bivittatusDB/releases/tag/v3.0.1

Examples

See the examples directory and wiki for examples off different operations.

Usage

1. clone the repo and cd into the BivitattusDB directroy
2. Import bivittatusDB into your python file/interpreter.
3. Follow the information from the wiki for more info on specific usage

Dependencies

The databases are saved in hybrid-asymmetrically encrypted and therefore need encryption handlers, as seen in the requirements.txt file.

pip install -r .github/requirements.txt

Known Issues:

1. Code must be run inside the source file in order to find the database handler code lib_bdb.so. [FIXED 7/22/24]
2. lib_bdb.so does not successfully check if table already exists. (see. BivittatusDatabase) [FIXED 7/17/24]
3. Example files no longer reflects new syntax. [FIXED 7/22/24]
4. No data compression with the new updates (fix planned) [FIXED 7/17/24]
