I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light as to which of the standard collection classes are "OODB safe"?
By this, I mean that when large collections of objects are stored in an OODB, they will be efficiently accessed via Squeak without having to, necessarily, load the entire collection in memory.
One example of these are, as were recommended earlier to me, the BTree classes by Avi. However, looking at Magma, I see it does have some support for large collections. Also, OmniBase has some collection classes of its own.
But, questions like: at which point does it become important to consider optimized collections? or is it safe to use Dictionaries or is there a more efficient collection? I don't know. Just looking for general advise on proper usability of collection classes and their persistency (sorry for being so vague).
Thanks, Daniel
