A Database System built for Understandability

About the project

Teaching materials for a database systems course: a collection of Jupyter notebooks and a didactic DBMS written in Python for understandability rather than speed.

Useful for
  • Study B⁺-tree, bitmap indexes and Bloom filters through the notebooks
  • Walk through join-order enumeration algorithms (DPsize, DPsub, DPccp) with examples
  • Run the notebooks in the browser via Binder without local installation

3.1 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 3, 2026, 23:44 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

01225August 30, 2026October 3, 2026

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • 9 stars today.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
  • The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
  • The repository is 31 days old and already has 38 stars.
  • Hacker News: “ExplainDB: A Database System Built for Understandability” — 20 points, 2 days ago.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
