You could serialize the objects and then save them as blobs within a MySQL
database. a LONGBLOB, for example can cope with 4294967295 characters (2^32
- 1).
Just remember that serialized objects belong to the class that they were
created with. So if you modify the class and re-compile, this is classed
(internally) as a different class and your previously serialized objects
will be unreadable!
