Thanks for your answer. There is not, fortunately, a problem of losses since actually i'm programming just for fun.
I'd like to understand what there is at the base of a database system to understand if it possible and how create a simple one in os-indipendent standard c++. The main problem is that c++ file streams are the best choice to store simple sequences of linear data, but if i need to work at "lower" level it becomes more difficult and problematic. It's not impossible but there are (for what i know) file manipulation pitfalls.
