Need to know how to implement a DBMS on my own

Question

See more:

I am familiar with Database Management Systems such as MySQL. I am primarily a C/C++ Programmer. I have always wondered what's going inside a DMBS, what's its architecture, how to design a one.

I searched google and amazon (for books) on how to create a DBMS in C/C++. But I ended up with some results like "Database design with Mysql..", which were totally about the SQL language and table design.

I just need a book, an article or any other source to begin with. Just some paper about Designing a Database Management System in C or C++.

Solution 1

Design is one thing. It is abstract. Implementation is another. This book is a standard.
