The Most Complicated Algorithm I've Ever Written: SQLite B-Tree Balancing
Ғылым және технология
In this video we visualize how the SQLite 2.X.X B-Tree balancing algorithm works. Technically it's not exactly the algorithm from SQLite but my own version which I implemented for MKDB. My version is almost a 1:1 Rust copy of the original algorithm implemented in C which you can find linked below.

I try to keep it in the middle, too high level would be "B-Trees can self balance, that's it" and too many details would be getting into how the code is actually implementing the ideas that I explain, in this case for example the distribution computation is kinda weird with the way the loops work 😂, but whoever wants to understand the details can read through the source code.
Freaking crazy. All this is super interesting! I like how you explain and guide us through the process. Starting from scracth knowing nothing, but researching and building up until you figure out what to do next
excellent explanation of b-tree insertion, deletion and balancing, I love your visualizations too, thanks a lot!

(i do nodejs at work and i would rather do low level c or c++ so i better get cracked at it before i try switching jobs.) i can safely say that deleting a node from a btree and rebalancing the tree was some difficult shit. it was hella fun though, and I built a lot of cool data structures that i might have a direct use for in 50 years

Once you get into variable length data and disk storage, complexity spikes. Considering something 101 obviously depends on the exact implementation, a basic hash map is tought in most 101 courses but a concurrent disk hash map used by databases for hash indexes is not "101".

@@tony_saro I’m on “your side,” I’m just not willing to grant any benefit of the doubt to OP-even if you were only doing so to be humble. I think his definition of “complexity” is bad. I think his examples of complexity suggest that it’s unlikely he’s ever implemented a B-Tree for any real use case. I also think he made those comparisons to imply that the content of this video is easy-just kid’s stuff. I don’t just disagree with the original post, but tbh it pisses me off a little. Not only is he objectively wrong about the level of the material-which again, is basically halfway through an undergrad program and well beyond what any of the fresh webdev Bootcamp applicants have seen-he’s also being condescending towards people with the drive and discipline to self-learn while also missing the entire point. Defining a concept in a _perfectly_ simple way is exactly what makes any algorithm clever. That’s what allows B-Trees to exist. That _is_ how you find the broader, more generalized concept. TL;DR: 102 isn’t an insult. I would have to spend a full year of my income before even being eligible to sign up for Algos 102 at any college. Edit: thanks for the video, by the way. Great upload. I probably would’ve stayed out of everything if I’d known you were out responding to the h8ers.

Wow, That is a great explanation. B - trees are advanced version of 2-3 trees. Which holds most of the properties of b-tree. I have written AVL trees on my own. So, To my understanding up and till this point, a b-tree or even a binary can be represented using a linear data structure like an array using an expression of (2*i)- left child & (2*i)+1- right child. In contrast, (i) is an index of the current element in the array. So, can leverage these to store information on disk as we know in storage we can get access to a 4kb page for each read operation and 4kb is size assured by hard disk manufacturers that if the power goes off. It can write 4kb data to disk without losing it. so, it helps us with crash recovery. I am trying to build a very simple database without complex data structures to make clear how this disk stores data & is retrieved at a low level. I am from a PHP background. I know some basics of c programming & javascript. Why do you choose Rust to build this database? why not c or C++.
@tony_saro

C doesn't have a standard library so you have to write a lot of code or use third party libraries. The standard library of Rust allowed me to write the entire database with 0 dependencies. On the other hand it has modern features that C lacks (genetics, pattern matching, closures, traits). C++ I guess you can use it, but I don't know any C++ I've never used it. I chose a language I already knew.

I am not sure how to do that, I wouldn't do 1 hour tutorials of basic "hello world" projects, there are a lot of channels that already do that. Streaming is another option, maybe I can stream smaller projects that would take max 10 hours / streams and then reupload to KZread. But for now I'm focused on explaining ideas/concepts, trust me, as I said at 12:11, if all you have is the code then you'll have a very hard time figuring out how it works. I don't even know how many hours I spent understanding this particular algorithm but in total I spent months with it. If I had had a simple 12 minute video like this one I would've probably spent days instead of months. When you write code you also have to get into the details of the code, not only do you have to explain the idea behind the code but also how each line works. For this particular algorithm, explaining the code would probably take 12 hours instead of 12 minutes, because you also have to understand other parts of the code base such as the pager and cache system. The code base is 25K lines, code only is probably 12-15K, the rest is documentation. So projects like this one would be impossible to stream / teach, it would take hundreds of hours to write and explain all the code. Simpler projects might work, as long as I'm not getting into "hello world" territory. In the meantime, if you want to read the code, it's on GitHub, it's thoroughly documented, some parts of the code are explained in my videos, so it should be easier to follow than most other codebases.
Amazing 🤩, Really appreciate the hard work.

Hi, I have several questions about databases in general: Do the b-trees store only the references to the data (and it's stored somewhere else in the file in a heap-like fashion) or are they also used to store the actual data? How are the variable-sized data types like TEXT/BLOB stored? What happens when they're inserted/modified/deleted?

My full database video answers some of your questions. I'll link it below and I'll answer anyway. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4SXk5qglZzVmKw.htmlsi=uTQ94tOYGIk4cQuo B-Trees store the entire rows, all the data. Text and blobs are stored using overflow pages, you basically break the data into multiple chunks, store each chunk in a different page outside the B-Tree and link all the pages. Inserting texts or blobs is no different than inserting any other field, you deallocate or reuse the pages previously occupied by the blobs if you're removing or modifying, and when you're inserting you just use the algorithm from the video.

Are btrees shallow generally shallow? The algorithm probably has some configs, like the node capacity, nr of children.... how to choose them? In theory, the more capacity the nodes have, the less depth tree will have, is this correct?
@tony_saro
Ай бұрын
It's correct. If by shallow you mean not deep, then yes B-Trees should be shallow. It's impossible to calculate the exact depth since nodes store variable entries so you don't know how many entries each node will hold. But there's a configuration for that, each node must store a minimum of entries, in my code it defaults to 4 entries. So root has a minimum of 5 children, then each child has at least 5 children, so third level is already 25 pages. The depth will grow very slowly. The node capacity is determined by the page size, which is a power of two between 4 KiB and 64 KiB. The greater the page size, the more entries each node will store so less depth.

But don't take my word for it, I haven't personally tried those chairs, I just heard good things / reviews about them. Gaming chairs are mostly for aesthetics.

@@tony_saro Many thanks for your honest reply, it is very helpful. Yes, I also heard heard about HM, one thing that stops me more than price is weight -- this is wrong direction, steel and heavy bicycle is around 13kg, digital piano 14.5kg, a chair something like 20kg 😀

@@DevelTimeWell the Razer Iskur is 30Kg 😂, so I wouldn't have a problem with weight, especially if the chair is comfortable.

on my dsa course at university we learned about btrees, and usually to learn about programming i prefer learning by doing instead of just listening to theory. bad idea, could only manage to implement an insertion on btree after like two days of trying to get it to work, and even then i couldnt manage deletion. then also came the b+ trees and i couldnt do it lmao

I also learn by doing but if you literally have no idea what you need to do it's kinda difficult 😂. This algorithm in particular I just read through SQLite, added my own comments, print statements, modifications, etc, until I understood how it works. Then I made my own version.

Deletion on Symbol Table is hard. Refer to Sedgwick’s lecture, LLRBT deletion took years to complete! I tried hard to go through why it works
Do you have links of learning ressource you used ?

Bravo!
We studied balanced trees in second year in cs , and it was brain cracking 💀💊, that was because we learned in heavy subject (file structures and data structures), wich i saw useless untill 4 months later
Moving all that data around sounds rather inefficient.

If you don't move it fragmentation will cause the height of the tree to increase (worse performance on queries) and you'll use a lot of disk space for nothing (a lot of pages at 50% or below). And it's not really a lot of data if you think about it, pages are 4 KiB by default and the tree should not be that deep considering it grows logarithmically, after you insert something you've basically cached all the pages down to the leaf in memory, you move stuff around in memory only and then run the I/O on disk. It's pretty clever actually.

Most database management systems use B+Trees instead of B-Trees because the B+tree holds no data in the internal nodes. This maximizes the number of keys stored in a node minimizing the number of levels. Scans are easier because leaf nodes are linked and deletes are also easier because all the data is in the leaf nodes.

You still have to balance internal nodes with B+Trees. This algorithm is applicable to B+Trees with some modifications. I used normal B-Trees because the implementation is simpler than B+Trees, but then it complicates some other parts of the code. Sequential scans of entire tables are more complicated for example, and less efficient as well.

Isnt this B* tree? B tree doesn't borrow space from siblings when insertion overflows

Yeah, but that's just how Knuth named this variant in his book. Technically it is a B*Tree, but nobody even knows what the B stands for 😂
