It depends. If your records are only alive for the life of the program and
your pointing to locked chunks on the heap, you're probably OK. If you want
to point to items in other records, its best to use a unique ID or index of
the other record, then maybe a separate offset. I have several classes I
use that manage a packed collection of strings all stored in a database heap
chunk -- that is really useful, and it avoids having pointers except for the
short period of time when things are locked.
