The premise itself is also quite funny, imo. I think very few people on this planet would think "I need a database so I build one myself". They might do this with the application layer, but most people consider databases black boxes that they interact with through SQL, or maybe not even that. Maybe they just use an abstraction framework in their favorite languages that lets them write objects which have .load() and .save() methods that generate SQL by themselves.
