The basic intent is to store the information contained in an annotated
abstract syntax tree (AST) and symbol table to a database. As a minimum, I'd
like to be able to store the same sort of information that the Program
Database Toolkit () stores.

I'd also like opinions on the feasibility of using an DB to store even
more information so that the source code can be completely recovered from
the information in the database alone.

You might want to look at the different smalltalk systems.

Thanks.

Aren't their program database subsystems generally written in Smalltalk?
Using custom DB-type storage (also written in Smalltalk)?.

Yes, they are mostly integrated.
