B+ Tree Database Management System

---

📖 Subject: Overview

This project implements a B+ Tree-based database management system (DBMS) to simulate real-world database operations such as indexing, searching, adding, and deleting records efficiently. By leveraging the B+ Tree data structure, the project optimizes these operations, showcasing the power of advanced indexing mechanisms in modern database systems.

The project also includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) built with JavaFX, providing an intuitive and user-friendly way to interact with the database.

🎯 Objectives

• Master the B+ Tree data structure, including its self-balancing and indexing features.
• Simulate core database functionalities, including table creation and index management.
• Enhance familiarity with database systems and concepts.
• Develop a practical understanding of data organization and efficient querying.
