how do i get started creating a C database.

By deciding what a database is and does. This is not the group in
which to discuss that.

There is no such word in English as plz.

It all depends how complex you want to get, but at least read a good
book on database design, then find an implementation and study it.

you probably should be posting to a general programming group
(eg. comp.programming) or a database group. Then you need to
explain what a "C database" is.

- do you need a full Relational DB?
- can you manage with just storing your data in a file?
- does the data have to be preserved between runs of your program?

A must-have starting point would be:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}

After that, read a good book on general database design,
followed by a good C textbook. You'll find pointers to the
latter scattered around this newsgroup.

Do you know anything about database programming in general? Are you
wanting to write your own database manager in C (that's a lot of work),
or use a library of some kind. A few years ago there was a book, IIRC,
"Database Programming In C" by someone named Stevens (I think). It was
not too bad. He showed how to implement a small relational database in
C and write some applications for it. Perhaps you can find a copy of it
on Ebay or something like that. Also, there is the C Database Toolchest
available from Mix Software <http://www.mixsoftware.com>.

A trivial database manager is easy enough to pull together.
If you wnat to support SQL queries, that's a different matter.
