regarding school project

[rushtosri]

Hello Everyone,

I'm learning C programming from past few months. Now I'm quite confident of doing a project. Recently myself and my friend decided to do a database management system for a school which can store details of students as well as the teachers. But i don't know how to start. Can anyone tell me how to startoff?? Plz also tell me if i can get any resources on the net for the same.

Thankx in advance.
Awaiting for ur replies...

If you want to make a DMS, you need to know data structure.
B-tree is frequently used for DB systems. Sometimes
AVL tree is used with mmap like mSQL.

I think the step will be :

1. Fully understand C language.
2. Fully understand linked list.
3. Study tree data structure and select a suitable
data structure for your project.
4. Fully understand binary file handling.
5. Implement data structure which data nodes are stored
in a binary file.
6. Study Database Management System and SQL grammar.
7. Use your data structure to implement a DMS.
8. Publicize your project using GNU license.
9. Enjoy it with your life!

Thanks!

Then, is there a reason why we learn programming?
There are so many great DBMS which are commercially
or freely available.

Programming is experience.
