OODB/Valentina-Revolution

>Or maybe I'm just not explaining it correctly?

Hi Chuck,

I, for one, am unsure of your definition of OODB or the specific db 
structure you wish to support.  I started a response to your original 
query re OODB; but trashed it because (a) I wasn't sure it was 
pertinent and (b) I could not find and current links to the product 
on the 'net.

Before discussions on the HyperCard List convinced me to write my own 
database, I purchased a license for Answer Software's HyBase [I'm 
hazy on the company name, it was in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, or 
thereabouts].

HyBase was touted as a fourth-generation database capable of 
supporting code segments and objects.  It was delivered as a set of 
extensions in HyperTalk external format.  It looked promising & 
powerful to me; but (1) it was overkill for my needs and (2) by using 
my own db I have no liability for royalties when distributing my 
products.

I really don't know if this has any relevance to your question; but 
if you want to take another shot at describing the data structure(s) 
and functionality you want to support, I'll ponder whether/how one 
might support them in SDB.
