Man, this is THIRD MODEL that Valentina can support --
Pure Object Orineted database.
This is when
1) some classes marked as persistent
2) for each row in fact user get instance of that class.
Here we have 2 branches:
A) totally own implementation
B) following by ODMG standard
Agree?

Finlay, I DO NOT say that we do not need V4Cocoa,
We need it very much !!!
I just try discuss a little with you language itself:
Objective-C against C++ ?
We can start other thread on this ?
May be you know some URL that answer on this ?
What can I do with Objective C more easier and effectively than in C++ ?

As I have mention, I think in future versions this classes must be added to
ALL products that has OO support: VJDK, V4RB, VCOM, V4Cocoa.
