QuillSQL
An educational relational database (RDBMS) written in Rust, designed for teaching database systems concepts inspired by CMU 15-445.
What is QuillSQL?
QuillSQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) written in Rust, designed as an educational tool for learning database system internals. It implements SQL query processing, transaction management, B+Tree indexing, buffer pooling, and ARIES-inspired recovery to solve the problem of understanding how production databases work under the hood.
Students, educators, and researchers studying database systems, as well as developers interested in database internals or building prototypes. It's particularly suited for those following curricula like CMU 15-445.
Developers choose QuillSQL for its clean, modular architecture that mirrors academic database courses, its implementation in modern Rust for safety and performance, and its focus on being a hackable codebase for experimentation without the complexity of industrial databases.
