The stupidest database of all time.

StupiDB

Pronounced in at least two ways:

1. Stoo-PID-eh-bee, rhymes with "stupidity"
2. Stoopid-DEE-BEE, like "stupid db"

Are you tired of software that's too smart? Try StupiDB, the stupidest database you'll ever come across.

StupiDB was built to understand how a relational database might be implemented.

RDBMSs like PostgreSQL are extremely complex. It was hard for to me to imagine what implementing the core of a relational database like PostgreSQL would look like just by tinkering with and reading the source code, so I decided to write my own.

Features

• Stupid joins
• Idiotic window functions
• Woefully naive set operations
• Sophomoric group bys
• Dumb custom aggregates
• Scales down, to keep expectations low
• Wildly cloud unready
• Worst-in-class performance

Non-Features

• Stupid simple in-memory format: Iterable[Mapping[str, Any]]
• Stupidly clean codebase
