Thanks Jacob!

I was unaware of Orange.

@rikki --- Thanks also for your remarks.  Although in principle
both sql and json are complex, they are familiar, so if they
work as in other languages i'm hoping (knock on wood) they
won't seem complex.  As to what i'm storing, it's a little
indefinite now, but will include strings and times.
