Ξ Project:M36 Relational Algebra Engine

Haskell Programming Language Public Domain Hackage Hackage dependency status Windows Build status Github Workflow status

Software can always be made faster, but rarely can it be made more correct.

Introduction

Project:M36 implements a relational algebra engine as inspired by the writings of Chris Date. Project:M36 supports both SQL and TutorialD interactive access.

Quick Install

Project:M36 can be downloaded and run via docker, which supports Windows 10+, macOS, and Linux.

Run docker run -it projectm36/project-m36 tutd to start the TutorialD command line interface.

Run docker run -it projectm36/project-m36 sqlegacy to start the SQLegacy (SQL dialect) command line interface.

Description

Unlike most database management systems (DBMS), Project:M36 is opinionated software which adheres strictly to the mathematics of the relational algebra. The purpose of this adherence is to prove that software which implements mathematically-sound design principles reaps benefits in the form of code clarity, consistency, performance, and future-proofing.

Project:M36 can be used as an in-process or remote DBMS.

Project:M36 is written entirely in the Haskell programming language.

Use-Cases

Project:M36 supports multiple frontends which target different audiences.

  • learn about the relational algebra via TutorialD
  • use SQLegacy to learn how SQL differs from the relational algebra
  • store and manipulate databases
  • use Project:M36 as a native Haskell database backend
