# Database Design and Implementation

Sciore's pedagogical DBMS book (Springer, 2nd ed. 2020). Walks the reader through SimpleDB, a small Java teaching engine that grows over the chapters into a working relational database with disk pages, buffer pool, lock manager, parser, planner, and JDBC layer. Build-it-as-you-read-it style closer to [[building-syntaqlite-ai]] than to a reference text.
