If you're going for something simple, it sounds like something a Hash 
would help with. You store the information you want in a Hash (one per 
"database"), and retrieve it by the ID/number. Your initial 
experimentation in this area will probably be best spent playing with 
Hashes. :)

Can't help much with Rails myself, I don't use it. :} I'm guessing 
probably yes if you've got your own webserver set up, much like ordinary 
webdev.

Cheers,
