new data type

[ezx]

Hello,
This is not an issue, just a question.
Is is possible for a speedtables data structure itself to also be a speedtables data type, therefore allowing nested data structures?

Thanks

The more typical way would be to have a second table that has a parent id column that allows one or more rows in the second table to be retrieved based on the key from the first table.

Alternatively, you can also just use a string datatype in your table and store a serialized version of a Tcl array or dict, though that loses some of the benefits of using a speedtable.

RE: nested data structure (my previous post)
Thanks,
I also noticed that I can do the following:
[package req My-st]
[my-st create st]
[my-st create st::1]
[my-st create st::2]

Which opens the door to other interesting possibilities.
