Hi Navodit, The easiest thing you can do to attach a database is to use ODBC. If you have on your system an ODBC Driver say like Dbase or Access then you can just use a file. You set up an ODBC connection and then use SQL to access your data. The best part of doing this is that you don't need to have Access or Dbase on your system since ODBC does all the work for you.
Review the ODBC packages on SqueakMap for details. For networking it really depends on what you are trying to do. If you are just looking for networking access to a database then you have that with the ODBC package. If you are looking for more advanced Database tools then consider using PostgreSQL and Glorp. This is a much more complicated so if you are new to this I'd stick with ODBC until you get your feet wet. Please feel free to ask questions!
