2017-06-06 Thread Andre Garzia via use-livecode

William, If I may add a bit of personal opinion here... so, I have been using and storing LC stuff in databases for a long time. Not only I have been storing arrays in database but I had them flying over TCP sockets and being decoded/encoded as needed. For a long time I used the same approach as
