Forgive me for asking but why are you writing your own database? There 
are numerous open source databases. Many of them have very permissive 
licenses.

I like writing software, but building my own DBMS wouldn't make the 
short list, the long list or any list at all. For starters, it's very 
*hard* to do correctly.

Just curious...
