Thanks Baz. I already read that Vince is working on the H2 implementation. I was just wondering if that implementation would replace the CFC/ structure implementation, or that they are going to live side by side. Today, I started using the functions you mentioned to save CFC variables into the bigtable db, and I hope that this implementation will be continued by openBD ;-)
