BroDB

Parody / Joke

BroDB is a parody DBMS where applications interact with the system using a query language as if it was spoken by a "bro".

History

The project started in 2024 inspired by the fictional character Barney Stinson from the TV show HIMYM.

Data Model

Relational

Query Interface

Custom API

BroDB uses the Bro Query Language (BQL) that is a veneer over SQL. Instead of standard SQL commands (e.g., INSERT), the query language uses natural language as it was spoken by a "bro". For example, INSERT INTO <table> is BRO, SLAM THIS INTO <table>.
