I'd like to 'expand my horizons' somewhat, and know
something of other systems for storing and retrieving
information. 

If it were simply that I needed a system to do this or
that, I certainly would not re-invent the wheel. But
by building my own wheel from literature, advice,
common sence, etc... I will be gaining knowledge that
may (or may not) be marketable. 

If, in the process, my wheel turns out to be square
instead of round, then I'll have to figure out how to
change it to make it roll properly. 

The Learnin' is the important thing, not the
practicality, usefulness, or effeciency :)
