I only have time for a quick hint.
I think you need to create each node before defining the next child
level.
Kind of like 'create folder' at each level in the directory.
When I did this a year ago I recall I used nested repeat loops and
the array names in strings. I built the requisite strings, then
parsed them as I spun everything into all the dimensions.
put pData into the databaseArray[pCompany]
put pData into the databaseArray[pCompany][pPerson]
put pData into the databaseArray[pCompany][pPerson][pName]
Persistence is probably something like arrayEncode()
Use the Rev arrayEncode function to convert an array into a string so
that it can be saved to a file or sent across a network.
