BivittatusDB: Operator-Based Relational Database Management System

This is a Python-based relational database management system (RDBMS) designed from scratch with operator-based functionalities. It's a standalone system not compatible with SQL or NoSQL databases, aiming to provide a simple yet functional database management solution.

Features

• Operator-based operations: The database operates using operators such as +, -, and == to manipulate data.
• Relational Structure: Organizes data in tables with rows and columns, following a relational database model.
• Basic CRUD Operations: Supports basic Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations.
• Indexing: Efficient data retrieval with indexing mechanisms.
• Transaction Management: Implements transaction management to ensure data consistency.
• Security: All databases are asymmetrically encrypted with a user defined password for each database.

Installation

Installation is now available through pip, via the latest release. To get the latest fix (with beta features) use

pip install bivittatusDB

The last build is unavailable via pip at this time. Based on the release schedule, release 2.0.0.0 should be released 08/01/2025. The closest working version of build 1.0.0.0 available on PyPi is v1.0.0.1

pip install bivittatusDB==1.0.0.1

Examples

See the examples directory and wiki for examples off different operations.

Usage

1. clone the repo and cd into the BivitattusDB directroy
2. Import bivittatusDB into your python file/interpreter.
3. Follow the information from the wiki for more info on specific usage

Dependencies

The databases are saved in hybrid-asymmetrically encrypted and therefore need encryption handlers, as seen in the requirements.txt file.

pip install -r .github/requirements.txt
