so you spend a little time up front to sav tons of coding time in the
future...  change your schema; re-generate the base layer.., o yeah, and it
preserves custom logic too (upon regeneration), since that resides in sub
classes.

i used to hand write db wrapper classes but found it tedious and tended to
result in a lack of cohesion through the classes themselves, not to mention
being error prone.
