+[![progress-banner](https://backend.codecrafters.io/progress/sqlite/179470c4-d788-46a1-a710-a17719813954)](https://app.codecrafters.io/users/codecrafters-bot?r=2qF)
+
+This is a starting point for Go solutions to the
+["Build Your Own SQLite" Challenge](https://codecrafters.io/challenges/sqlite).
+
+In this challenge, you'll build a barebones SQLite implementation that supports
+basic SQL queries like `SELECT`. Along the way we'll learn about
+[SQLite's file format](https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html), how indexed data
+is
+[stored in B-trees](https://jvns.ca/blog/2014/10/02/how-does-sqlite-work-part-2-btrees/)
+and more.
+
+**Note**: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to
+[codecrafters.io](https://codecrafters.io) to try the challenge.
+
+# Passing the first stage
+
+The entry point for your SQLite implementation is in `app/main.go`. Study and
+uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:
+
+```sh
+git add .
+git commit -m "pass 1st stage" # any msg
+git push origin master
+```
+
+Time to move on to the next stage!
+
+# Stage 2 & beyond
+
+Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.
+
+1. Ensure you have `go (1.16+)` installed locally
+1. Run `./your_sqlite3.sh` to run your program, which is implemented in
+   `app/main.go`.
+1. Commit your changes and run `git push origin master` to submit your solution
+   to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.
+
+# Sample Databases
+
+To make it easy to test queries locally, we've added a sample database in the
+root of this repository: `sample.db`.
+
+This contains two tables: `apples` & `oranges`. You can use this to test your
+implementation for the first 6 stages.
+
+You can explore this database by running queries against it like this:
+
+```sh
+$ sqlite3 sample.db "select id, name from apples"
+1|Granny Smith
+2|Fuji
+3|Honeycrisp
+4|Golden Delicious
+```
+
+There are two other databases that you can use:
+
+1. `superheroes.db`:
+   - This is a small version of the test database used in the table-scan stage.
+   - It contains one table: `superheroes`.
+   - It is ~1MB in size.
+1. `companies.db`:
+   - This is a small version of the test database used in the index-scan stage.
+   - It contains one table: `companies`, and one index: `idx_companies_country`
+   - It is ~7MB in size.
+
+These aren't included in the repository because they're large in size. You can
+download them by running this script:
+
+```sh
+./download_sample_databases.sh
+```
+
+If the script doesn't work for some reason, you can download the databases
+directly from
+[codecrafters-io/sample-sqlite-databases](https://github.com/codecrafters-io/sample-sqlite-databases).
