[GAP Forum] Storing additional data

[Timm von Puttkamer]

Dear all,

I have defined some numeric invariant for a group whose value I would 
like to save for each finite group in the SmallGroups library so that I 
do not have to compute it over and over again. Is there a preferred way 
to do this in GAP? My first idea was to set up some database, e.g. 
SQLite, but it seems GAP does not offer any SQL database interface 
directly. Of course I could use text files, but I want to be able to 
quickly select groups with specific values of the invariant and I wish 
not to reinvent basic database functionality.

Kind regards,
Timm
