* [SQL interface][sql] including joins, aggregates, and transactions.

toyDB is intended to illustrate the overall architecture and concepts of distributed SQL databases.
It should be functional and correct, but focuses on simplicity and understandability. In particular,
performance, scalability, and availability are explicit non-goals -- these are major sources of
complexity in production-grade databases, which obscur the basic underlying concepts. Shortcuts have
been taken wherever possible.
Originally written to teach myself more about database iternals, toyDB is intended to illustrate
the basic architecture and concepts of distributed SQL databases. It should be functional and
correct, but focuses on simplicity and understandability. In particular, performance, scalability,
and availability are explicit non-goals -- these are major sources of complexity in
production-grade databases, which obscur the basic underlying concepts. Shortcuts have been taken
wherever possible.

toyDB is not suitable for real-world use.
