I admit that I came from VW where I'm running quite a number of web apps 
on images which servers also as a sole database and that just works, 
reliable and fast.

Now I'm thinking to do the same in Squeak. That is, to use squeak image 
as a database, fast and reliable. Am I too naive?

Best regards
Janko
