About the Book

Learn databases from the bottom up by coding your own, in small steps, and with simple Go code (language agnostic).

  • Persist data with fsync.
  • Crash recovery.
  • KV store based on B-tree.
  • Disk-based data structures.
  • Space management with a free list.
  • Relational DB on top of KV.
  • Learn how tables and indexes are related to B-trees.
  • SQL-like query language; parser & interpreter.
  • Concurrent transactions with copy-on-write data structures.
