Typically, your would use it as a very lightweight way to store a modest amount of information on the fly in your scripts, as suggested in the introduction to that lesson in AppleScript 1-2-3.

Thanks, Bill and thanks to you and Sal for your manual on Applescript.
Anyway, for the time being I'm resorting to MySQL3.app and its well done applescript support.
To stick to my original question ....
Is there any plausible reason why SQL support (e.g., thru ODBC which is an instrument of MAC OSX too) hasn't been implemented in Applescript, as it was in the main computer languages?
And, as a workaround, is it possible in applescript to call programs written in other languages such as Perl?
Ciao always from Rome
