Hello,

I need educated. :)

What are you talking about with Squeak only being able to write a few 
gigs? Are you referring to the image?

What impact would/does this have on Magma?

I have not tried Magma out yet but am very interested.

I am looking for a database which can handle minimally 4+ million 
objects. Multi-gig database, possibly 10-20+.

Will Magma be suitable for such? (I know, its not much information.)

Or would I be better off exploring Stephen's BDB ( 
http://spair.swiki.net/25 ), Colin Putney's Tantalus ( 
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2002-July/016752.html 
), or just directly to PostgreSQL? I know you can't necessarily answer 
that. Just throwing out the alternatives for discussion.

I would like to stay as close to Squeak as is reasonable while having 
good performance.

Thanks for any help.
