Lets Juggle with Pointers

The point here is to make the world aware of pointers :)
Well it never hurts to learn your basics well. I am now currently working on a project as a part of my Database Implementation course. And my head is reeling with all the use of pointers and references. So here I am trying to document my thoughts.
To begin with, lets make a brief introduction to pointers

Why Pointers????
Wldn't a programmers life be much easier without pointers? Imagine not having to spend hours trying to track down a single segmentation fault. Well a programmer always has a choice to make between his efficiency and system's efficiency. But the irony lies in the fact that the programmer's efficiency in fact is gauged by the system's efficiency. So lets learn to think in terms of the system!!!
