A lightweight database management system developed as a coursework project for CSCI5408 - Data Management and Analytics (Master's in Applied Computer Science).
This project implements a basic database management system with features similar to H2 and MSSQL. It provides a console-based interface for database operations and includes user authentication.
- Authentication System: Secure user authentication with MD5 password encryption
- Database Console: Interactive command-line interface similar to H2/MSSQL
- Core Database Operations:
- Database creation and management
- Table creation and modification
- Index management
- SQL-like query support
- Java JDK 23 or higher
- Maven for dependency management
- Build the project using Maven:
mvn clean install
- Run the main application
- Log in using your credentials
- Use SQL-like commands to interact with the database
Create a new database
CREATE DATABASE database_name;
Create a new table
CREATE TABLE table_name ( column1 datatype, column2 datatype, ... );
Exit The console
exit;
The system is built with a modular architecture that includes:
- Authentication Module
- Query Processing Engine
- Storage Controller
- Console Interface
- Fork the repository
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b feature/{feature}) - Commit your changes (
git commit -m 'Message') - Push to the branch (
git push origin feature/{feature}) - Open a Pull Request
This project was developed as part of the CSCI5408 - Data Management and Analytics course in the Master's in Applied Computer Science program.
