A simple solution would be to serialize using a PN like format for your file and have the arrity of each node in the file. It's slower than having an offset table per node, but faster when inserting or deleting as the data is almost utterly context free. If this is too slow, you migh add offset tables per entity-node, but'you'll have to update these when inserting or deleting, working up the parent chain. The first is better for authoring, and the second for querying I'd say. Paul Janssens - paul.janssens@s... Stephen D.
