Thanks for answering.
There is no reason to apologize.

1st) Minnestore might be better, it might teach me/us something.
2nd) If I try to make tutorial/show-case/demo from/about the process
of implementing my database (or porting another one),
will there be someone watching?
Will those people be part of a PlanE/Minnestore database community?
Will those people be able to explain the database and its
implementation to others?

In other words:
Can I just climb my path to personal database mastership
and leave the others interested in that topic in the base camp?
Is it considered enough by the community to document
how to use the database?


Please note: There is no need to be shy!
If you guys think:
"Gerald, for heavens sake, why
do you bother us with yet another shitty OODB?",
then please say so!


Thanks and Best Regards,

Gerald
