I'd like to, but I don't see yet how to get a persistent database with 
your dynamic method.  There are many examples of dynamically creating 
and dropping tables, but I haven't been able to find any example that 
shows how to open an existing database with this dynamic API.

I love the idea of dropping the objectptr fields -- and, even more, of 
dropping my many-to-many link tables.  My new database would have about 
a dozen 1:M relations as well as another dozen or so M:M join tables, 
and it would be GREAT to replace these with direct binary links at the 
database level.

So will there be -- or is there now -- a way to get this persistence 
via your new API?  Or should I stick with the older class method?  And, 
if I need to stick with the class approach, will your new binary links 
work with it?

Thanks for any clarification you can give!
