On another note, as soon as I finishing shipping my manuscript to the publisher, I am going to get back to work on my DBFormatter that would allow you to serialize directly to a database. It is not as easy as I first thought, but I think it will worked. This was my preferred methodology, but on the other hand, Relation->Object mapping (not the otherway around) is supported really well by DataSets (IMHO). Since you can derive from DataSet (or Typed DataSet) using the DataSet as the basis for your business object layer is fairly trivial.
