A book-shaped table of contents for DBMS: relational foundations through SQL mastery, storage internals, transactions, distributed databases, NoSQL, and MAANG interview prep — cross-linking existing system-design/patterns notes instead of duplicating them.

Traces the shift from file-based storage to DBMS, the problems that shift solved, and introduces OLTP vs OLAP and the CAP perspective.

2 — Database Architecture

Covers the three-schema architecture (external, conceptual, internal), data independence, and the core components inside a DBMS.
