Do I need to inherit from a certain base class (like in AR)? Do I need
to define fields as special properties (like Og)? In short, how much
KB specific aspects does a record class have over a regular class?

How about many-to-many? Constraints on relationships? I don't mind
doing this with a special relationship-class, just want to know what
is the KB-way?

Thanks again for your time,
