[odb-users] design questions: c++ / python / sqlite

[MM]

ok, that's perhaps easier than using boost.python... I was thinking of
consistency.

indeed if I change the c++ class, the odb will handle that for the tables
too, and so the python will get these changes next time it runs the meta
data checks.

Thanks,
