&gt; Attempting to translate my model into, say, an SQL DB (as I briefly
&gt; attempted), poses problems.  The inter-object relationships which
&gt; (presumably) require indexes are dynamic and defined by the
&gt; user-written contents and definitions of the objects.  As such I can't
&gt; pre-define the record structure in a manner that maps directly to the
&gt; object heirarchy.  
&gt;

Update to earlier threads:
I have found a few theoretical papers on this pesky problem of 
mapping runtime dynamic objects into relational architectures.  

see: 
  &lt;URL: <A  HREF="http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/dbimpl/blobs.html">http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/dbimpl/blobs.html</A>&gt; 
  and

B. Reinwald's papers on SMRC are right up this alley.  I wasn't able to find
out much about SMRC on the IBM web site as to it's availabilty for DB2/PC.
But the papers will provide some good "oo's and ah's" before your eyes
glaze over and you fall asleep. ;)
