The database part might not be the most difficult
part of that particular problem.
Yes, I've created Forth databases. You might be encouraged
these days to interface to SQL or one if its ilk, but you
can create a Forth database.
It can be as simple as dividing 2 Meg into rows and then loading
and unloading the 2 Meg from disk into RAM and back, or it can
be something like what Dennis showed you.
There is simplicity in complexity and there is complexity in
simplicity. Or, to put it another way, everything is a
compromise. There is no such thing as a Free Lunch.
