I am interested in building a small portable relational data base in
C.  Initially it would be stricly single-user.  Does anyone know of
a good book on developing data bases.  I do not want db design books
relating to logical and schema designs but on actually developing a
working data base.  I am interested in what data structures would be
appropriate (depending on my criteria - such as speed, integraty, etc.)
for key files, and how best to implement field relations.  I'm also
wanting to know the best way to hook a SQL parser into the dbms for
queries, reports, etc. that are efficient, flexible, and so on.  Any
pointers would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.
