Not sure what you mean by "how invasive is KB regarding the objects it 
manages".  KirbyBase does give you the ability to create a custom 
"record class".  All the records in the result set will be returned as 
instances of this class.  So, if you need to give the returned records 
custom behavior, you can define the methods in this custom record class 
and each record will have that behavior.  Don't know if this helps 
answer the first question or not.

Regarding the second question, KirbyBase supports one-to-one 
relationships (called "lookup fields" in KB) and one-to-many 
relationships.  You also have the ability to define "calculated fields".

HTH,
