If you are developing an DBMS and haven't studied computer architecture, the best idea is probably to ask more experienced people to help out with your ideas.

From my limited knowledge, I don't think the article is old enough to be obsolete, just that there's a lot more to it.

Not to be gatekeeping or anything, but it is a pretty well studied field with lots of very knowledgeable people around, who are probably more than keep to help. There aren't too many qualified jobs around and you probably have a budget if you are developing a database commercially.
