		ckaygusu on Dec 8, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Readings in Database Systems, 5th Edition I went through Sciore's book [0] while learning about relational database internals. As part of his book, the author also developed a minimal database system named SimpleDB [1] in Java. I can safely say that its source code is very easy to understand. Though the book is not free, SimpleDB is. [0]: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-EHEP000711... [1]: http://www.cs.bc.edu/~sciore/simpledb/intro.html

Thanks for sharing this! I had been looking for something like this for a long time.

Sadly, the book has a ridiculous price.

Gladly, the course notes from the author is freely available. The book closely follows it:
