Tutorials on database-like apps?

	Can anyone point to tutorials, links, books or other sources 
explaining how to manage database-like problems in Squeak/Smalltalk? 
I'd like to try out Squeak on a small application I've been meaning to 
build for a long time: a reference manager. I know how to do it with a 
relational database backend and a client application, but I'm trying to 
understand how to do it in Squeak.

	In other words,  I know it's possible to get Squeak (and other 
Smalltalks, of course)  to talk to an external relational DBMS, but 
what I'm looking for is an explanation of how to deal with the problems 
that relational DBs solve (referential integrity, redundancy, etc.) in 
pure OO way, *without* object/relational mappings.

Thanks for the help,

Stefano
