IF you define you db structure in RB as classes then you must.

And then better create new db from your RB app, because ORDER OF CREATION of
tables and fields must be the same in RB app and on disk. IF you create db
in VAPP then try make classes in RB most probably you will fail.

In the same time you can choose DYNAMIC WAY to work with db in RB,
Then you must not have problems.

IF you already have a db, then SIMPLEST way for RB,
Just open it 

    db.Open

Then make cursor and use that cursor for read/write.
Do not make BaseObject classes!

IF you want classes, you will need make classes,
Then create from RB app new empty db,
Then import data from your old db,
Trash old db and use new db.
