OK, in short. I'm developing a database application (in fact, call it dictionary). No, not just an application running on MySql, Sybase, Ingres, Oracle. I *must* do this without (lets just say, PDA stuff. have a look at sourceforge if you'd like. www.sourceforge.net/projects/padict).

It may be possible that my database size gets so large that I'd need indicies on my text entries. So, I would need some clues about "how to index".

I know a little bit about hash theories, but, what I need is a Book advice, some newsgroups I could dig through, websites, whatever.

I searched google, where I could find anything else 'til now.

But: I'm stuck.

If you know some good books, or websites, docs to read, samples, opensource libraries...?

regards,
