I was doing some research to try to get RubyGOODS up and running when I
came across this:

http://www.garret.ru/~knizhnik/dybase.html

"DyBASE is very simple object oriented embedded database for languages
with dynamic type checking. The specific of such languages is that types
of class instance variables are not known at compiler time. Moreover the
same instance variable can be used to store integers and string and later
be assigned reference to some other object. So it means that database
could not keep information about object format in class descriptor and
should store type for each instance variable. DyBASE provides APIs to the
most popular scripting languages with OO extensions: PHP, Ruby and
Python."

So it appears perhaps that RubyGOODS is obselete before it was ever
completed.  Has anyone used this before?  I saw mention of it on
comp.lang.python, but haven't discovered any mention on comp.lang.ruby.

Maybe this is the Ruby object persistence solution I've been looking for.
