Hi,

I'm dissecting databases at the moment, and I've started to implement
my own just to get the proper understanding of things. To continue
from where I am right now I need to learn about string processing used
in todays RDBMSs. Issues I need to get the hang of are such as:
- Indexing techniques
- Searching and sorting
- UNICODE (I plan to use ICU)

I need to know the basics, and the tricks and trades of the field
before I start to read source code.

Hopefully someone here can help me gather the information I need.

Thanks!

Look for BTREE.

As above.

Personally I do not think that your understanding of RDBMS will be
improved by understanding Unicode. You should rather focus on important
concepts.

I suggest you get yourself a _book_ about RDBMS concepts.

Your local bookdealer might be able to.
