yes, yes you can. Its fun as well!
An example of where we've used this is to queue emails that an admiistrator
wants to send until such time as he wants to send them.
To normalise this would be a real pain as there are so many factors
involved, so we didn't. We just kept the queries stored in a text column as
wddx and then pulled them out and deserialised them as required. The 'just
add water' approach. Probably breaks all sorts or arbitrary guidelines for
data handling but it works like a charm...
