Bandicoot is a community project established by Ostap Cherkashin and Julius Chrobak with the following goals:

• collaboratively develop the Bandicoot system under the terms of Apache License
• promote the relational model (more than any other SQL-like databases do)
• make the development process with relational databases fun and efficient

The main goals of the Bandicoot system are:

• efficient implementation of the relational algebra
• clean language for programmers (rather than “English speakers”)
• easy to understand transactions
• open interface
• small code base

Acknowledgements

Bandicoot would not be possible without the work of E.F. Codd on the relational model. We strongly recommend everyone to read his [paper] (http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zives/03f/cis550/codd.pdf). [C.J. Date] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_J._Date) has written a book which influenced the creation of the Bandicoot. The system is based on the evolution of some of the ideas mentioned in the "Database in Depth".
