Hello All,



I am working on a system that needs to serialize an object to a database. 

An older implementation of what I'm doing parsed each property and saved 

it to database fields. 



However, I would much rather just serialize the entire object to a single 

database field. I have been able to serialize the object to a file, but 

what I'd like to do, is save the same information in the file to a 

database field, and then retreive it when I deserialize the object.



Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks much.

Komodo,



What I've implemented in the past was to serialize an object into XML which

was stored in one database field. The nice thing about using this approach

is that you can modify the XML elements on the fly and don't have to change

the underlying database structure.
