Are you supposed to develop the underlying database internals 
yourself, or build something on top of an existing one?

For example, can you write to the MySQL development API, or 
something similar and build an application to manage a database 
of some specific type (like a book library), or are you 
responsible for developing the indexing, tables, queries, file 
operations to store and retrieve, handle concurrent requests, 
etc. 

IOW, show us your homework problem.  :-)
