So you ask about Structure of Database?

1) Please note, link and Class-way are different things.
Links exists for each way, Sql, Api, Class.

2) you can at first creat in Valentina structure like in old db.
    then import data.

 and only after this you can use VObjectPtr.ConvertRDB() method
 or SQL command CONVERT RDB to convvert Relational FK to ObjectPtr links.

It is harder produce binary links. It needs write some loops to link records
using binary links using existed relational links. After this relational
links can be deleted.
