This project attempts to implement a Database using B+Tree. The project has developed a DATABASE SYSTEM with lesser memory consumption. Its API includes simple SQL Statements and the output is displayed on the screen. Certain applications for which several features of existing databases like concurrency control, transaction management, security features are not enabled. B+Trees can be used as an index for factor access to the data. Help facility is provided to know the syntax of SQL Statements.
About:
hamsterdb is a database engine written in ANSI C. It supports a B+Tree index structure, uses memory mapped I/O (if available), supports cursors, and can create in-memory databases.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
This release comes with many changes and new features. It can manage multiple databases in one file. A new flag (HAM_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE) places an exclusive lock on the file. hamsterdb was ported to Windows CE, and the Solution file for Visual Studio 2005 now supports builds for x64. Several minor bugs were fixed, performance was improved, and small API changes occurred. Pre-built libraries for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) are available for download.

樣板 B 樹 ( B - tree )
規則 :
(1) 每個節點內元素個數在 [MIN,2*MIN] 之間, 但根節點元素個數為 [1,2*MIN]
(2) 節點內元素由小排到大, 元素不重複
(3) 每個節點內的指標個數為元素個數加一
(4) 第 i 個指標所指向的子節點內的所有元素值皆小於父節點的第 i 個元素
(5) B 樹內的所有末端節點深度一樣
