That is the problem that I have run into. I need to delete database instances in the
sub class. What should really be happening is both deletes get called, or leave the
super class delete to the programmer to handle.
Anyone found a work around to this?

FWIW, I had problems getting destructors to be called as well. The problem
is that if you create a subclass, but then call delete when the type is the
superclass, the base class destructor gets called, not the destructor of
the actual object.
ie
CSomeClass *anObject;
anObject = new CSubClass
delete anObject // calls CSomeClass delete, not CSubClass delete
This is bad if you make a base class (say CChore), and then want to delete
a derived instance (say CDoSomethingChore) in a generic way.
