There are a couple of potential problems to look out for:

   - there may be situations where the datasource can't be overridden or
   isn't supported properly. Which is something that we should fix (and will if
   someone points them out) - but that won't really help you right now
   - fields like objectid, datetimecreated, etc are required for all the
   default CRUD operations


Some possible approaches that we've used for similar problems:

   - a custom type that corresponds to a database view
   - a form component for edit UI but all DB interactions are done manually
   - a custom type that overrides all of the CRUD methods (createData,
   setData, delete, etc) - you could do this type by type, or create an
   abstract type and extend it

A form component may be your best bet.
