Hi Novodit, Ok I see. What you need to do is create a package in squeaksource. Then you use Monticello to access squeaksource from your squeak image. All of the database functionality is already there, and it works with Monticello.
See http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/43 for more information about how to use Monticello. Let me know if you have questions about how it works, but basically it's a version manager for storing squeak code. It has a full history and version numbers. Hope that helps!
