Writing a DB

Objective: write fast and simple database program. Interaction with external applications through socket.
What's the best way to organise memory usage and file storage? I've come up with reading file and decomposing it into array elements. But there can be problems as file size limit and memory usage restrictions.
Any ideas?

Are you planning on storing such massive amounts of data? Do you want to distribute it across servers? You'll have to be more specific.

Possibly. Yes.

I recommend scalable enterprise NoSQL solutions.

http://sqlite.org
http://postgresql.org
http://mysql.com

If the point is to write it yourself, NoSQL will be much easier to implement than anything else, simply because it barely does anything.
If the point is to have a working database, use Postgres.
