I think I phrased my question badly.

What I should have said was that as the complexity of your generator
increases, and as the table count increases, running the generator becomes
more and more of a delay.  If the generator produced an assoc array of
layout, you would only need to run it when layout changed, and your system
would be much more flexible both in terms of development and deployment.

I have a system of 170 tables and re-running the generator is just not an
option when I'm trying to tweak a bug, I want to modify the code directly
and see the effect.  When it is fixed, it goes into the distribution tree
and all systems using that library file are affected w/o rerunning any
generators.

> After tweaking the generator, a simple refresh of my browser allows me to

> method in the DataObject. Since this refresh has the database and table
