Thanks Chris, > Will you have an object hierarchy of any type to speak of?

Maybe i've miss-explained a bit: "objects" wasn't ment like what "objects" means in OOP. My objects are collective agreements in fact. They may be stored that way, but: Currently i have to store all data in dbase-DBFs accessing them with Visual Objects(http://cavo.com), but it will be stored in MySQL DBs in a few month. That's why for me any solution has to be relational. > CREATE TABLE funky_object_store ( > object_serial INT AUTO_INCREMENT, > object_class INT NOT NULL, > object_data BLOB, > PRIMARY KEY(object_serial), > INDEX(object_class) > ); I need to be able to query the DB for a specific character- istic. So serializing the objects as OOP-objects into BLOBs isn't suitable for me.
