Hey all!

I'm working on some Dynapad stuff, integrating Squeak MinneStore (SMS) 
into it, adding support to existing apps so that they support the OODB 
rather than use files.

One of the design aspects I'm pondering I describe below.  I don't 
have much experience designing databases, only using them in a pretty 
simple way.  

With SMS, you have a database,and within a database, you have object 
sets.  Like a table in a SQL db, I suppose.  Would it be better to 
have logically grouped sets of objects be in their own DB or just in 
an object set?  Makes sense to me to have it in just an object set- 
the obj set shouldn't get much larger than a few MB.  

Has anyone here used SMS much? Any wisdom to impart? :) Esp wrt how to 
use such a tool properly and get the best performance out of it.

Cheers!
Aaron
