Right now, I have a requirement where I need to write a graph into a file. I am using Fuel for that. Each graph, has its own file. In the image side I just store the filename, When I need to load it it reads such file and materialize it with Fuel. I was thinking going a step forward and use a key/value (a.k.a no-sql) database. With Fuel, I can take a graph, and serialize directly into a ByteArray, hence I can take a graph to swap, I assign an ID, and and save it into the database. In the image side, I keep that ID. Then, when needed, I search it in the database and then after with that ByteArray found, I materialize it with Fuel. So...first question is, do you think that could be faster/better than directly writing into a file as I am doing now? Now, which are the available Pharo wrappers for no-sql databases that let me do that? I would appreciate any link or documentation about them. What do I need to use such databases from Pharo? FFI and a library installed in my machine? are there binaries for Mac OS? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
