in thread (Real) Database Design

Because I'm attempting to fully understand how such systems work. I wouldn't hesitate to use a tried and tested system if I were only looking for something to get the job done. My purpose here is 99% learning and 1% attempting to create a decent end result :)

I've also downloaded the source code to many dbms but they're all far too complex for me to get a good idea of what's going on just by reading the source.

    Even DBD::SQLite? I think you really should consider studying existing database systems. If they seem overly complex that's probably because building a database, even a pretty modest one, is a lot of work. If you ignore the many fine examples of the art you'll just have to discover them the hard way!
