RheaDB

A simple disk-based DBMS that supports simple SQL-like querying statements.

What's currently implemented?

• Simple SQL-like queries
  • Creating & dropping tables
  • Deleting from tables
  • Updating tables
  • Simple selection queries
  • Creating & deleting indices
• Disk-based storage
• In-memory buffer pool caching
• JDBC driver
• B+Tree indexing

JDBC driver loading and usage

The connection url passed to DriverManager.getConnection() must be in the format jdbc:rhea:DIR_PATH, where DIR_PATH is the storage directory for the database. It must be an existing directory.

Class.forName("RheaDB.JDBCDriver.JCDriver") must be used so as to invoke the static portion of the driver, and (hopefully) successfully connect to a database instance.

import java.sql.*;

public class ExampleProgram {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {
        Class.forName("RheaDB.JDBCDriver.JCDriver");
        try (
                Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:rhea:/home/USER_NAME/dbdata");
                Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
                stmt.executeQuery("CREATE TABLE FancyTable (id INT, name STRING, mass FLOAT);");
                
                stmt.executeQuery("INSERT INTO FancyTable VALUES (1, \"Random Name\", 42.69);");
                stmt.executeQuery("INSERT INTO FancyTable VALUES (2, \"Not Random Name\", 96.24);");
                stmt.executeQuery("INSERT INTO FancyTable VALUES (3, \"Completely Random Name\", 3.1415);");
                
                ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM FancyTable;")
        ) {
            while (rs.next())
                System.out.println(rs.getInt(0) + " - " + rs.getString(1) + " - " +
                        rs.getFloat(2));
        }
    }
}
