	Description:		I never wrote a database engine, unless you count writing code to read, write, and update flat files. I remember doing that early in my life with a friend as we tried to build our fantasy baseball game system. We needed a way to handle data, and use flat files, setting tokens to denote various "rows" and columns of data. I'm not sure that's much of a database, but that's the most I've done in building an engine. Someone decided to tackle building a SQLite clone in C and wrote a series of articles on the process. They are an interesting read as the author works his way through adding new functionality for the engine. While I wouldn't want to actually recreate a database engine that I needed, the exercise is interesting. My C knowledge is a little rusty, but I can follow along enough to appreciate the way that the application takes shape. Read the rest of Building a Database Engine
