To queue or not to queue.

[Daniel Santa Cruz]

Hello all,
I needed a queue to hold certain information to be processed at a later 
time by a different process.  So, I started with:

MyQueue Class:
        List of QueueItems
MyQueueItem Class:
        Data for the Item
        Timestamp
        Processed flag
Then I noticed that really MyQueueItem Class is also in a way a Queue. 
One has the ability to get to the data since it is all stored in the 
same SQL table.  Is ommiting the MyQueue class a bad idea?  Would it be 
better to just have that class, and to have to 'push' items in and out 
of the queue, so that there is a way to access them directly through OO 
instead on haven SQL queries to retrieve them?

I guess I'm still thinkin in tables...
Thanks.
Daniel.
