I think you'll find that particular feature is rare; offhand, I can't
think of any database systems for Squeak that support it.

I would recommend OmniBase over Magma, however - it's had more time to
prove its stability.

You might also look at PostgreSQL with either GLORP (for high level
o/r mapping) or Roe (for lower level control).
