SQLite-like database implementation from scratch (semestral project by Petr Chmel and Vilém Zouhar).

Documentation

Read concept assignment, user and technical docuementation in doc_meta/.

Build

make (ZimaDB is already the default target)

make run will build & run ZimaDB.

make re will clean & run ZimaDB.

We used a makefile with a simple cascade, but due to linkage complexity we work in three main directories: share/, engine/ and core/.

engine/ (storage, processor) is maintained by Petr Chmel and core/ (lexing, parsing) by Vilém Zouhar.

Requirements
