CS-6360 DavisBase Programming Project XXXXXXXXXXpages
Programming Project, Part 1:
Database Files and Indexing
CS-6360 Database Design
Instructor: Chris Irwin Davis
1. Overview
The goal of this project is to implement a (very) rudimentary database engine that is based on a simplified
file-per-table variation on the SQLite file format, which we call DavisBase. Your implementation should
operate entirely from the command line and possibly API calls (no GUI).
Like MySQL's InnoDB data engine (SDL), your program will use file-per-table approach to physical
storage. Each database table will be physically stored as a separate single file. Each table file will be
subdivided into logical sections of fixed equal size call pages. Therefore, each table file size will be exact
increments of the global page_size attribute, i.e. all data files must share the same page_size attribute.
You may make page_size be a configurable attribute, but your implementation must capable of
supporting a page size of 512 Bytes. The test scenarios for grading will be based on a page_size of 512B.
Once a database is initialized, your are not required to support a reformat change to its page_size (but you
may implement such a feature if you choose).
Your team may choose any langage for implementation, but all examples will be provided only in Java.
DavisBase data is encoded in two different kinds of database files—tables files and index files. Each
database file is stored as a single file in the underlying OS.
Each DB file is comprised of one or more pages (a virtual subdivision of the file). All pages of a file are
the same size. For example, if the page size is set to 1024 bytes (1kb), then each DB file size is some
multiple of 1024 bytes.
• Each page in a Table file (interior or leaf) is a node in a B+1 tree.
• Each page in a Table file (interior or leaf) is a node in a B tree.
The location of each element in a page is referenced with a “page offset” value (i.e. the number
of bytes from the beginning of the page that the element is located.

2. Requirements
2.1. Prompt
Upon launch, your engine should present a prompt similar to the MySQL mysql> prompt or SQLite
sqlite> prompt, where interactive commands may be entered. Your prompt text may be hardcoded
string or user configurable. It should appear something like:
davisql>
2.2. Summary of Required Supported Commands
Your database engine must support the following DDL, DML, and DQL commands. All commands
should be terminated by a semicolon (;). Each one of these commands will be tested during grading.
DDL (Data Definition Language)
• Show tables – displays a list of all tables in DavisBase.
• Create table – creates a new table file, its associated meta-data, and indexes (if they exist).
• Drop table – removes a table file, its associated meta-data, and indexes (if they exist).
• Create index – creates an index file that is associated with a table file. Note that DavisBase only
allows indexes to be createed on single columns.
• Exit – Cleanly exits DavisBase and saves all table, index, and meta-data information to disk in non-
volatile files.
Note that you do not have to implement ALTER TABLE schema change commands.
The database catalog (i.e. meta-data) shall be stored in two special tables that should exist by
default: davisbase_tables and davisbase_columns.
DML (Data Manipulation Language)
• Insert – inserts a new record into a table file and updates any associated meta-data and indexes.
• Delete – removes a record from a table file and updates any associated meta-data and indexes.
• Update – modifies an existing record in a table file and updates any associated meta-data and
indexes.
• INSERT INTO table_name [(column_list)] VALUES (value_list);
- Inserts a single record into a table.
• DELETE FROM table_name [WHERE condition];
- Deletes one or more records from a a table.
• UPDATE table_name SET column_name = value [WHERE condition];
- Modifies one or more records in a table.
DQL (data query language)
• Select-From-Where – performs a standard SQL select-from-where format query and displays the
esult to the screen, but does not support nested queries or complex where conditions (e.g. IN,
EXISTS, etc.). You additionally do not have to support SQL commands ORDER BY, GROUP BY,
HAVING, or AS.
- You do not have to support multiple WHERE conditions. The condition is a single column
comparison_operator value clause.
- You do not have to support nested queries.
- You do not have to support ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING, or AS alias.

3. Details of Required Supported Commands
The detailed syntax for the above commands is described below.
3.1. DDL (Data Definition Language) Commands
Show Tables
SHOW TABLES;
Displays a list of all table names in the database. Note: this is equivalent to the query:
SELECT table_name FROM davisbase_tables;
Create Table
Create a table schema
CREATE TABLE table_name (
column_name1 data_type1 [NOT NULL][UNIQUE],
column_name2 data_type2 [NOT NULL][UNIQUE],
...
);
Create the table schema information for a new table. In other words, add appropriate entries to the system
davisbase_tables and davisbase_columns tables that define the described CREATE TABLE and
create the associated table_name.tbl data file.
Note that every table in DavisBase automatically creates an additional unique “hidden” column named
owid. This extra column is stored in a specially designated place in each record. It is represented as a 4-
yte two’s complement integer. Row IDs are unique over the lifetime of a table and are never re-used.
Once a record has been deleted, its rowid is never repurposed. They begin at the value 1 and increase
monitonically. Note that rowid is separate from any user-defineed PRIMARY KEY.
The only table constraints that you are required to support are PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, and NOT
NULL (to indicate that NULL values are not permitted for a particular column). If a column is the
primary key, its davisbase_columns.column_key attribute will be the string “PRI”. If a column is
unique (but the primary key), its davisbase_columns.column_key attribute will be the string “UNI”.
If a column is neither a primary key, nor otherwise unique, its davisbase_columns.column_key
attribute will be NULL.
If a column is defined as NOT NULL in the table schema, then its davisbase_columns.is_nullable
attribute will be the string “NO”, otherwise, it will be “YES”.
You are not required to support any type of FOREIGN KEY constraint, since multi-table queries (i.e.
Joins) are not required to be supported in your project.

Drop Table
DROP TABLE table_name;
Removes a table file, its meta-data, and any associated indexes it may have.
Create Index
CREATE INDEX table_name (column_name);
Creates new index file (B-tree) based on the given table and column name. All DavisBase indices are only
ased on a single column, i.e. no compound indices. The file name in the underlying OS file system
should be table_name.column_name.ndx.
3.2. DML (Data Manipulation Language) Commands
Insert Row Into Table
INSERT INTO TABLE (column_list) table_name VALUES (value1,value2,value3, ...);
Insert a new record into the indicated table.
If n values are supplied, they will be mapped onto the first n columns. Prohibit inserts that do not include
the primary key column or do not include a NOT NULL column. For columns that allow NULL values,
INSERT INTO TABLE should parse the keyword NULL in the values list as the special value NULL.
Delete Record
DELETE FROM TABLE table_name [WHERE condition];
Delete one or more records from a table given an optional WHERE condition.
Update Record
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = value WHERE condition;
Modify one or more records from a table given a WHERE condition. Note that you will not be required to
update TEXT columns to values that will be longer than the original column string length.

3.3. DQL (Data Query Language) Commands
Query Table
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE [NOT] condition;
Query syntax is similar to formal SQL. The result set should display to stdout (the terminal) formatted
like a typical SQL query. Note that a WHERE condition may apply to multiple records.
You do not have to support the following types of queries:
• Nested queries
• Join conditions
• Complex boolean WHERE conditions, i.e. just a single column. Although you must support
equalities (=), inequalities (>, ≥, <, ≤,
), and negation (NOT).
If SELECT has the * wildcard, it will display all columns in ORDINAL_POSITION order, not including the
hidden column rowid.

Hi, I need help with this database class assignment using Java. I just need " Insert Row Into Table"
part to be worked on XXXXXXXXXXin project instruction.)
1. Sample complete codes: This is the completed codes (exactly same project) from my friend who
took this class from the previous semester. You can get ideas from these codes. As long as “Insert
Row Into Table” part works, you can copy and modify the parts that you need.
2. Expected output: This is the expected output that should be printed after I put the command. “
INSERT INTO table name VALUES (…)
3. Project Instruction: This is the instruction for the entire project. But again, I just need Insert Ro
w Into Table part to be done
4. Needs to be worked on: These are the codes that you will be working on
