MonetDB on Ubuntu

From Installation to Full Power

This book is a practical guide to installing and working with MonetDB, a high-performance open-source column-store database designed for analytical workloads.

The book focuses on running MonetDB on Ubuntu Linux, covering installation, configuration, database management, and practical SQL usage. All examples are designed to be reproducible on a standard Ubuntu system.

Every section in this book is paired with a YouTube video that walks through the same material in a practical demonstration. Readers are encouraged to watch the video first and then follow the written explanation in the book.

In addition to YouTube, all videos are also available on Odysee for those who prefer an alternative platform. Odysee provides the same content, with the added benefit that videos can be downloaded for offline viewing. This can be especially useful if you want to study without an internet connection or keep a local copy of the material for future reference.
