[V4RB] newbie on the loose

[Pedro fp]

G'day Folks

I'm just starting out with Valentina, got red eyes from poring over the 
documentation, & have to port my major work project from REALdb to 
Valentina in a hurry. Three questions starting with the simplest ...

1. Are RecIDs reused when records are deleted?

2. I've read in the kernel manual that the Object-Relational model 
allows having multiple BaseObjects that appear to be a single table. My 
project has 2 'types' of records, ones containing data owned by the 
user of the software & ones containing published data. I believe that 
putting each record type in its own BaseObject has some advantages in 
this project but I'm not clear on how this is done. Can anyone offer me 
a primer on this or direct me to some published example that shows how 
it's done?

3. Most of the fields in my database are to be predefined but the 
software must also provide for user defined custom fields. Can I do 
this by having a mixture of static & dynamic fields in a Valentina 
database? If so [again] can someone offer a primer on this of direct me 
to some published example?

Cheers, Pedro :-)
