About

created by Austin Poor

A small, toy database written in pure python.

• GitHub: https://github.com/a-poor/toydb

• PyPi Package: https://pypi.org/project/toydb

• Read the Docs: https://toydb.readthedocs.io

I started writing ToyDB as a toy project, in order to get a better sense of how RDBMSs work.

My goal isn’t to write a high-performance database or a fully ANSI compliant RDBMS, it’s to continue to get a better understanding of the inner workings of a database.

Installation

ToyDB can be installed using PyPi:

$ pip install toydb

Status

NOTE: Still in development.

• Add indexes and keys

• Implement ORDER BY

There currently isn’t any functionality for JOIN s or GROUP BY s.
