What I have already

A way to read DBase III files (tables) using code I wrote many years ago.

Approach

1. Create the core code to manage the tables, the file format, the storage and basic syntax.
2. Make basic SQL statements to manage those table
3. Create some basic code to manage the database, and include tables (sub class item 1)
4. Make basic SQL statements to manage the database
5. Continue the journey with YACC / BISON / LEMON.
6. Use these skills to help create wrappers around the db/table activities using some basic SQL.
7. Test 
8. Continue with foreign and primary keys, ensure the constraints works.
9. Create a listener for the system.
10. Test over a network
11. Create a resuable framework to introduce new SQL statements
12. Continue language enhancements.
13. Look at other features
