What do you do if a new DTD comes along that does not fit your schema? It
would seem that Postgres' object-oriented capabilities might come in
handy here. Haven't really thought about it too deeply but that appears
to be a case where it's cool to make a new table that inherits from the
original one to fit the new. Am I way off target or could anyone chip
in with examples?
