This is correct.
    
    Class Style must be used when db structure if FIXED.


You Ed, now on early stage of development now, so you just create new db
each time if you change something. Will come time when you will FIX that.

After that (and if you have ship to end-users) you will need do much more
careful steps to change structure of EXISTED dbs.

On the other hand API Style also require from developer write code to CHANGE
structure of db if needed.
