Is it possible to store objects like HashTables in a database? How do I do
this?

The method I was thinking of is:
1. Serialize the HashTable.
2. Store the serialized data in XML.
3. To access the object, we deserialize the data and cast into HashTable.

Any suggestions to make this process more efficient would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ah, the classic O/R problem.
Your solution of using XML as an intermediary is the best, IMO.

If you want to optimize it for spead and data size then you may prefer to use the binary serialization instead of XML.
