It sounds like a much simpler way to do what you want would just be to
save your messages as an NSDictionary and use the dictionary's
writeToFile:atomically: method to save it in a file...

I guess the decision would be if you'll ever need to do more with it,
or if you'll be storing really huge amounts of data. Either of those
might lead you to consider sqlite further.

Hope this helps,
