Cute technique!

I tried deriving a ZClass from ZCatalog to do the column and index
management itself -- the idea was that I could update all of the
FnordCatalogs' designs and methods just by touching one object -- but for
some reason it runs right into a wall. Yell if you can read tracebacks; I
can reproduce it pretty damn quickly.

Oh, so I can't use views if I want to do that kind of thing?
