It depends what you mean by simple. Products like Oracle take thousands of
programmer hours and millions of dollars to develop.

On the other hand by writing a series of structures to disk you have the
rudiments of a simple database which may well be all you require for your

Maybe if you specified a bit more closely how much C you know, and what you
want to achieve?

"anything but simple"

In English, "anything" and "all" do not have the same meaning, any more
than "tout" and "quelque chose" mean the same thing.
