Dave,

If you are using Java, and you can spare an hour to have a look at our samples, you might be able to save yourself a lot of brainwork and implementation time.

Using our database is very straight forward and simpler than using SQL. One single command

database.set(object)
stores an object and all attached new members to any depth.

The same command can be used to update objects.

To retrieve objects, you can either use query-by-example or traverse down from the root object, activating links in turn.

db4o is free for non-commercial use.

Kind regards,
Carl
