Its not _real_ O-R mapping - you need something else for that :)

something like:
type
IDBStorage = interface
function loadFromDB(const key : string): boolean;
function saveToDB : boolean;
....
end;
TCustomer = class(TObject,IDBStorage)
(implement stuff here)
property name : string read whatever write whateverelse;
end;
if (somecustomer as IDBStorage) <> nil then
someCustomer.saveToDB;
I think you can get the idea....
