I know this was never meant to be fast, but could you produce some benchmarks for shits and giggles?
I love databases and Python, so this was really interesting to walk through. Thanks for the post.
My perspective is that writing this kind of system in a language such as Python is actually a great thing because for myself Python is more widely readable and approachable compared to C++ or C which is what databases are often programmed in. If someone wants to be serious they can port it to a low level language . As it stands it's educational and useful for studying.
I wrote a distributed pseudo multi model SQL/graph Cypher/Document and dyanmodb style database in Python https://GitHub.com/samsquire/hash-db for the same goal of learning how database engines could work in a distributed way.
This is fantastic, and seems like a great way for someone (me) to learn DS&A better. I can explain how a B+tree works, but if you asked me to code it, I’d freeze up. I love databases and Python, so this was really interesting to walk through. Thanks for the post.
Kudos, i bet that was a fun and rewarding experience. I know this was never meant to be fast, but could you produce some benchmarks for shits and giggles?

Off topic but do you know of any good resources/talks/blog posts that cover how to create useful benchmarks?
