Simple C Database

A simple SQLite Database written in C.

This project was made using the following guide as reference.

As of December 23rd, 2023, this project is completely caught up with the aforementioned guide, although I will continue to work on it a bit on my own. For a full list of modifications that I have made to the program, see Noteable Modifications.

Building and running

To try this database out for yourself, do the following:

1. Clone the repo onto your machine.
   • Using HTTPS: git clone https://github.com/IcePanorama/SimpleCDatabase.git
   • Using SSH: git clone git@github.com:IcePanorama/SimpleCDatabase.git
   • Note: The Makefile for this project is primarily designed with Linux machines in mind.
   • The project may still build on non-Linux operating systems, but your mileage may vary.
2. Move into the new directory using cd SimpleCDatabase.
3. Build the project using make.
4. Finally, run the database using ./database.

TODO

• Fix bugs with splitting internal nodes.

Noteable Modifications

Since catching up with the guide referenced above, I have made the following modifications to the program:

• Program now automatically searches for a mydb.db file and creates one if it doesn't exist.

  • Users can still pass in their own file if they choose to do so.

• Converted automated testing from 'rspec' (written in Ruby) to 'behave' (written in Python).

  • Makefile now automatically runs tests after building.
  • Currently, 3 test fail due to the aforementioned bug with splitting internal nodes.
