Andrew,


I have some experience in both fields - compiler construction and
databases. If I were in your shoes, I'd go to object-oriented
databases. This would safe you from writing mapping code for RDBs and
give you even a performance advantage over RDBs. Look at ObjectStore
(www.objectdesign.com) or one of their competitors (www.versant.com,
www.poet.com).


Disclaimer: I do applications programming with ObjectStore for a living.
