well, yes and no. SQL is not an object-oriented language. But PostgreSQL is
an ORDBMS  (Object-relational DBMS) that in fact allows you to have multiple
inheritance with tables and define overloading stored procedures, your own
operations, etc., so if you define a table MyTable you can have functions
like MyTable__oper(), and so on. There are limitations, naturally, so this
is just a simulation of OO programming. But it works - I have a project with
sources having cca. 1 MB for PostgreSQL like this.

I do not agree. If I can do that manually with Kate using search/replace, I
could do it with Umbrello too. If nobody makes it faster, I will try to do
it.
