Re: DB with list datatype?

Hi, I am looking for a small embeddable database that allows lists as
datatype, similar to the internal database of a Prolog programming system.
I.e. the data are organized in tables, so it is a relational database. But
an element in a table can be a list of variable length, eg. a string list
or a number list
Any idea? Could SQlite do that with some magic tricky things?

PostgreSQL has an array data type and several language extensions to assist
in using them.

However, I would echo all of Bill's warning, with this conclusion about
putting lists into columns: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."
