I'm writing a dummy application that needs a database. I don't want to tie it to a SQL server, so I would like to build a "toy" dummy database, just for my purporses.

I'm writing a dummy application that needs a database. I don't want to tie it to a SQL server, so I would like to build a "toy" dummy database, just for my purporses.
I would like to know how to write the files to be accessed and which is the best algorithm to do the data mining. I used to use an ASCII text file with fields separated by ":". The queries were made opening and reopening the data file and matching its contents against the query. It's stupid, in my opinion, but I have a big lack of knowledge in databases, so it was the bast solution for that moment.
Could someone points me a book, a web page or some source code (Python, C/C++, Perl, Tcl or even VB and Delphi) to help me understand how stuff works?
I'll be happy if someone could send a "cc" to my mail.
TIA! Sorry about my broken English...
