MinneStore is a free, object-oriented database that is written entirely in Smalltalk and provides storage and retrieval of complex Smalltalk objects. It is designed to eventually support simultaneous updating by multiple clients, but this feature is not ready yet.
MinneStore was written with the intention of being used for prototyping and perhaps small applications, however I worked hard to keep from introducing limitations on the number of objects that could be stored and indexed. MinneStore was also written to be as portable as possible and so uses multiple files and directories that grow in number as the database grows (instead of using something like Microsoft Structured Storage which is not portable).
