A compiler option to turn on the generation of RTTI for private, protected
and public properties would solve this problem.  This can work very much
like the existing RTTI compiler option, ie.  Turn it on for a base class
that is OODB persistent.


However, my original message is for a *FULL* OODB system, not just to
serialise properties.  Ie. compile your units directly into the database,
code and data.  IMHO, this alone would put Delphi way ahead of its
competitors.
