Tim, there is a good book out using exactly that subject (DVD store) to
demonstate programming under Linux, though their approach is a bit
different from how you want to do it:
"Professional Linux Programming", N. Mathew and R. Stones; Publ. Wrox,
1100+ pages, $60; covering various DBs, CVS, Python, PHP, C, C++ ,
security, various GUIs, etc ................... Horst.

I am attempting to write a video store
management package that compiles and runs on any open source unix that
includes bdb
and ncurses. I wrote a small program like this as my final C project in
college and
think it would be great if there were more tools like this since DOS
versions seem to
be used all over the place. It seems to me a *nix version with a console
UI would be
far superior to the DOS programs I see everywhere, especially in network
environments.
If anybody else is interested in a project like this, or simular small
business
software that can run on super-cheap hardware, let me know and I'll set up
RCS or CVS
or something...
