QuickDB - Yet Another Database Management System?

Although DBMS (Database Management Systems) are often hidden for a user, they are a part of many applications utilized in day-by-day life. In general, we can suppose two main types of DBMS: OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing) and OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing). We can also distinguish another classification related to the connection of a client and DBMS: client-server and embedded DBMS. The embedded DBMS enable to achieve the maximum performance since an often slow network connection is not used. As a result, they are utilized by in-memory computations where the maximum throughput is required. Although it seems that a lot of high quality DBMS exist and another DBMS are not required, there is not a system to meet all demands of the real world. In this paper, we introduce our prototype of embedded database system called QuickDB. We show that it includes a wide variety of data structures and it provides more efficient performance in many cases compared to up-to-date (embedded) DBMS.
