A step-by-step tutorial that builds a SQLite clone from scratch in C, covering a REPL, a simple SQL compiler and virtual machine, persistence, cursors, and B-tree indexes. The accompanying code is a learning artifact rather than production software.

Use cases

• learn how databases work internally
• build a sqlite clone from scratch in c
• understand b-tree index implementation
• learn how sql is parsed and executed
• study database persistence to disk
• follow a hands-on systems programming tutorial

When to choose

• you want to deeply understand database internals by building one
• you're learning C through a substantial systems project
• you want a guided tutorial covering compilers, VMs, and B-trees

When to avoid

• you need a real database for an application
• you expect active development or support
• you want a production-ready SQL engine
