"Cdata: The Cheap Data Base Management System" is a library of data base
management function developed in C.  It consists of:

	o A compiler for the Cdata Data Definition Language (schema.c).
	o A Data Base Manager (database.c)
	o A File Manager (datafile.c)
	o An Index Manager (btree.c)

And comes with the following utility programs:

	o The Data Base Size Calculator (dbsize.c)
	o Data Base Initialization (dbinit.c)
	o Data Entry and Query (qd.c)
	o Data Base File Report Program (ds.c)
	o Index Builder (index.c)

More information can be obtained by reading the book:
