A Database engine (MySQL, Oracle, Postgress, Progress, etc.) is written
in c/c++. This is a non-trivial exercise. It would take hundreds of
thousands of man hours to develop a reliable storage/query engine. Don't
bother. Use one of the known, tested, trusted reliable engines already
out there. Concentrate on the application. The IT company that produced
the system your employer uses will have done it that way. (Unless they
are using SAP, which does have its own DataBase engine).
