Hi There! I am just getting familiar with slide, so you may yet get a more qualified answer than this, but I believe the answer to your question is:
No, you can't store/load to arbitrary tables. Slide uses its own data structures to store the data it manages, and the data it manages, while it may be structured internally, this structure is not exposed to slide, and slide always stores it in a BLOB. It would be nice if certain kinds of data could be saved by slide directly into tables rather than into BLOBs. This would permit other software to access the same data in the fashion in which it is naturally stored, or would permit you to use features like Oracle's Media indexing or XML searching... Depending on your needs, you may still be able to use slide. For example, I use slide to store and version all my site's documents and static content. The dynamic user (not editor) created content, like Forum postings is stored directly in Database tables of my own, and this type of imformation is stored and loaded by normal webapp Servlet code, admittedly without versioning. If you really need versioning, access via webdav and all the slide functionality for your database tables, you will probably have to write your own store class extending the slidestore.reference.JDBCContentStore store to manage storing and retrieving the info to database tables, but I'm only just beginning to look over the code, Hope this helps!
