Hi folks.

    I've been having fun with prolog for a few years, and would now like
to implement a relational database using prolog (an equivalent to
a updateble data table (or set of tables) in some SQL or xbase system).
I'm looking for advice on how this can be done.  To be more specific: I'm 
not sure what the best method is for storing the "tables".  Can this somehow
be implemented as an ascii file of prolog facts?

Is this a common prolog activity?  I'm having trouble locating pertinent
information, so any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Sincerely, and thanks in advance,
Sean McCorkle
