Hi Alistair,
I wasn't suggesting storing data in a database per se.
I thought that, given that the desired functionality is not available in Pharo, the options are to implement it in pure Smalltalk or wrap an existing library. In the latter case, typically one wraps a C library using FFI. With SQLite, its extensions are C libraries that are already wrapped for SQL. Writing SQL queries may get you a long way where you're going.
Ah, thanks for the clarification, I hadn't thought of that. I'll probably still develop a standalone library as it will be useful for the community, but this may help. Thanks again, Alistair
