Making Smalltalk a Database System

Summary: Smalltalk-based system fuses OO programming with a set-theoretic data model to boost database app modeling. GemStone data model and OPAL supply path expressions, declarative semantics, and object history, addressing concurrency and past-states. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
