1. DB Algorithm Essay, please help

   Hi!
   
   My name is Daniel Åkerud, a swedish studen, writing an essay for my exam.
   The label will be something like: "Database algorithms".
   I know it is a complex task, and will ofcourse, as soon as possible,
   specify more preciesly what it will be about.
   
   I have thoughts about writing about, for example, how searching a
   database will go faster by indexing certain columns in a table.
   And what makes this same procedure slower by indexing wrong, or
   too many. (Correct me if I am wrong).
   
   I assume that there is a cascade of algorithms inside the code
   of a databasemanager. There is no doubt work for me :)
   
   Do you have any tips of places where I can gather information?
   Do you recommend a book in this topic?
   
   I have plans of investingating some of the code in several of the Open 
   Source databasemanagers out there.
   
   Thank you,
   I really appreciate your help!
