Some of what you want is already described here:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/TableSerialization

For example, serialization using SQLite is described here:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/PersistentTablesSqlite

You are using Lua tables, and all reads/changes are redirected to the
SQLite database. Some more metatable magic, and you could get a fully
"persistent" state as you describe (e.g. automatic "new_table()" and
"get_table()").
