Project Information

until January 6: please install Berkeley DB and inspect the code examples provided on the Web page.
until January 6: if you are using Java, please try out the two compilers listed above. Can you successfully compile your Java program into a shared library?
If not: is it possible to adapt your code with few changes such that the compiler works? Note that we will definitely accept Java implementations of your project in terms of grading. However, the contest requests a shared library. So, if you cannot compile your project into a shared library, you may not be able to submit your code to the contest.
early January: we will learn about transaction processing and parallelization during the lecture
January 20: workload will be made available (you should then inspect the workload and optimize your project for the given workload)
until midnight of February 3 (prolonged): implement a first version of your project implementing the contest specification. You should use the code used for the first milestone of this lecture (main-memory index). Make sure your project passes all tests.
until midnight of March 15: hand-in of your final project.
