Book On Making /rdb

I was told once there is a book that shows you how to make a database from scratch using sed, awk, and the Linux filesystem. I thought I had the name, but now I cannot find it. What is this book called?

Edit: My understanding is this book was meant for learning how databases work, and how to build your own entirely from scratch using awk and the filesystem. From how it was explained, you could build your own version of /rdb, then when you finished you could just use /rdb itself, but now you'd know how it was made.

So, at the end of the book, you'd have almost completely remade /rdb yourself.

Solution

  • Is it "Unix Relational Database Management: Application Development in the Unix Environment (/RDB)" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=013938622X/cbbrownecompu-20/ ?
