It does not seem to speak SQL: $ git clone git@github.com:Sahilb315/AtomixDB.git Cloning into 'AtomixDB'... $ cd AtomixDB/ $ go run . Welcome to AtomixDB Available Commands: CREATE - Create a new table INSERT - Add a record to a table DELETE - Delete a record from a table GET - Retrieve a record from a table UPDATE - Update a record in a table BEGIN - Begin new transaction COMMIT - Commit transaction ABORT - Rollback transaction EXIT - Exit the program > create Enter table name: foo Enter column names (comma-separated): bar,baz Enter column types (comma-separated as numbers): 1,2 Enter indexes (format: col1+col2,col3, ... or leave empty): Table 'foo' created successfully.

I do find the source to be well organized and quite readable. Especially if you runs the commands in the cli and then trace how they are each implemented.
