I'm interested in serialization of objects. If I had some more lives I'd try to reproduce Eaglespeed FIRM, but for now I'd just like to see how things work. As I understand they built the FIRM on AVL trees, thus I'm also asking about advanced containers with serialization. My goal is to get rid of multi-tier architecture as much as possible. Multiple tiers may be fun for scripting, but it's not fun if you have to check the same data n-times in n-languages. I intend to build a stupid-simple object store, play with Ada in the meantime, then I'll see. Regards, Karel Miklav
