I work with a Database system called "Progress". It has the concept of
WORK-FILES which sound just like what you are doing. These are in memory
tables that are defined at run-time. They work just like real database
tables except they are not indexed.

Anyhow, glad you like the updated version. I'll post it to RDS after I
update the docs a bit.
