FormiDB

About

A very lightweight database engine implemented from scratch. (Don't expect a lot of features lol, it's just a proof of concept)

---

Build

Uses CMake for builds.

Creating a build directory (Recommended)

From the project root:

mkdir build
cd build

Configuring and building

Under the build directory

cmake ..
cmake --build .

After a successful build, two binaries should be generates as of now, one is the main application (formidb) and the other is for tests (only one as of now ;-;)

Debug Builds, Testing, and Tooling

Building with CMake Debug configuration

To build FormiDB with debug symbols enabled:

mkdir build-debug
cd build-debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
cmake --build .

This configuration enables symbols required for debugging and memory analysis tools.

---

Debugging with gdb

Run the built executable under gdb:

gdb ./formidb

---

Memory checking with Valgrind

Best tool in existence fr

valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./formidb

---

In development

1. Minimal SQL like interpreter to run in shell mode
2. Thread safe pager
