• ncurses library
• readline library (for linux)
• gcc 4.9+

We need to install gcc-4.9 and readline to make our program.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ncurses-dev libreadline6-dev gcc-4.9
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 /usr/bin/gcc -f
curl -o Awwwesome-MiniSQL.zip  https://codeload.github.com/Awwwesome-MiniSQL/Awwwesome-MiniSQL/zip/master
unzip Awwwesome-MiniSQL.zip
cd Awwwesome-MiniSQL
make
./MiniSQL

In MiniSQL, you can type:

exec Data/table-create-drop-0.sql;
exec Data/table-create-drop-1.sql;
exec Data/table-create-drop-2.sql;
exec Data/table-insert-delete-0.sql;
exec Data/table-insert-delete-1.sql;
exec Data/table-select-0.sql;
exec Data/table-select-1.sql;
exec Data/test-1000.sql;
exec Data/test-1w.sql;
exec Data/test-10w.sql;
select * from person where age = 380;
quit

This MiniSQL project is maintained by Stephen Tse, chenyuan and Yangguang.Zhang.

MiniSQL supports the following data types for an attribute:

• int
• float
• char(n), 1 <= n <= 255

MiniSQL supports the following standard SQL statements. Note that all SQL statements should END WITH ; and key words should be lowercase.

• create / drop table

create table tableName (attrA int, attrB float unique, attrC char(20), primary key(attrX));
drop table tableName;

• create / drop index

create index indexName on tableName(attrName);
drop index indexName;

• select

select attrA, attrB from tableName where attrC = X;
select * from tableName;

• insert

insert into tableName values (valueA, valueB, valueC);

• delete

delete from tableName where attrA >= X and attrB < Y;

• quit

• import SQL file

exec fileName.sql

MiniSQL consists of seven components:

• Interpreter Interpret SQL statements, invoke API and return results.

• API Provide APIs that execute SQL statements, connect Interpreter with other components.

• Record Manager Create / delete files, insert / delete / select tuples.

• Index Manager Create / delete B+ trees, insert / delete / select keys.

• Catalog Manager Access and manipulate meta-data of tables, attributes and indexes.

• Buffer Manager Read / write blocks, buffer replacement, record status and locks.

• DB Files Catalog / data / index files.
