    Well, it has of course more overhead than when you update a cell in an array, but it has capabilities to do transactional data storage and for example faster data-retrieval based on queries.

    I'd consider that the most slow method of doing so. But perhaps you could elaborate a bit more about what you're trying to achieve It's now too vague IMHO to give a good answer.
