Detection
Concept: Build a small database engine that supports MVCC-based
transaction management and deadlock detection
Key Features:
o Implement snapshot isolation for concurrent transactions.
o Simulate deadlock scenarios and implement a detection/recovery
mechanism.
o Benchmark against traditional two-phase locking (2PL).
3. Custom Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and Crash Recovery System
Implement a WAL-based database logging and recovery 5 system .
Key Features:
o Implement a custom WAL mechanism.
o Simulate crash recovery scenarios (e.g., power failure, system
crashes).
o Evaluate recovery time based on different logging strategies.
4. Hybrid Indexing System: B+ Trees vs. Hash Indexes
Concept: Develop a hybrid indexing mechanism that dynamically
switches between B+ Trees and hash indexing based on query patterns.
Key Features:
o Implement both B+ Trees and hash indexing.
o Use query workload analysis to switch between index structures.
o Benchmark performance under different workloads.
5. Adaptive Buffer Management System for Databases
Concept: Implement a dynamic buffer management system that adjusts
cache replacement policies based on workload patterns.
Key Features:
o Implement LRU (Least Recently Used), MRU (Most Recently
Used), and LFU (Least Frequently Used) buffer replacement
policies.
o Dynamically switch policies based on real-time query patterns.
o Benchmark performance on different workloads.
6. Blockchain-Based Secure Transaction System
Concept: Use blockchain principles to implement a secure, decentralized
transaction processing system
Key Features:
o Implement immutable ledger storage using Merkle Trees.
o Use smart contracts for handling transactions.
o Simulate concurrency control mechanisms in a blockchain-based
environment.
7. Automated Index Recommendation System
Concept: Develop a tool that analyzes database query logs and
automatically suggests optimal indexing strategies.
Key Features:
o Monitor query execution plans.
o Recommend B+ Trees, Hash Indexes, or Bitmap Indexes based on
access patterns.
o Compare performance before and after index optimization.
8. Fault-Tolerant Database with Replication & Recovery
Concept: Develop a database system with replication and recovery
mechanisms

o Optimize query execution for multiple tenants.
o Ensure data isolation and security for different tenants.
10. In-Memory Database System with Query Optimization
Concept: Develop a lightweight in-memory database and optimize query
execution
Key Features:
o Store data entirely in RAM for fast access.
o Implement compression and indexing techniques for performance
gains.
o Compare query execution speeds with traditional disk-based
databases.
11. Dynamic Query Load Balancer for Distributed Databases
Concept: Implement a query load balancer that distributes incoming
queries across multiple database nodes.
Key Features:
o Monitor query workload and system resources.
o Use round-robin, least-connections, or AI-based scheduling.
o Optimize response times and system throughput.
12. Query Performance Benchmarking Tool for Modern Databases
Concept: Develop a tool that benchmarks the performance of different
database systems .
Key Features:
o Compare query execution times on MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB,
and Redis.
o Analyze indexing strategies, join performance, and parallel
execution.
o Provide visual reports on performance metrics.
