There are lots of database APIs for Ruby out there. Are you looking for

As far as serialization goes, there's a Marshal class in the Ruby 
stdlibs, but you're welcome to implement your own. You could also write 
to YAML, or use a lib like AMarshal to store the Ruby object itself:

I just googled for "Ruby marshal" to find that. Looks pretty neat.
